البيان التأسيسى لنقابة الإذاعيين ـ راديو و تلفزيون ــ

و فور علم مسئولوا ماسبيرو و اتباعهم بأمر نقابة الإذاعيين قرروا اعلان نقابة عمالية تضم العاملين باتحاد الإذاعة و التلفزيون لضمان فرض السيطرة على الإعلاميين .. لكن الثوار مستمرون فى مقاومتهم .

و هنا قام الاتحاد الدولى ممثلا فى رئيسه وسكرتيره العام وكل الكيانات النقابية المنضمه تحت هذا الكيان الكبير من أسبانيا وأيرلندا والنروييج والبى بى سى وايطاليا ترسل بيانات تأييد وتضامن مع فكرة انشاء نقابة الاذاعيين ( راديو وتليفزيون) تحت التأسيس كما  تدعم  كذلك  حركة ثوار ماسبيرو فى خلق اعلام مهنى ومستقل بإالاذاعه والتليفزيون.

وكان ثوار ماسبيرو قد أعلنوا فى بدايات شهر مارس عن البيان التأسيسى لنقابتهم المهنية، والتى انضم لها الآلاف من الاذاعيين (راديو وتليفزيون)، وهم بصدد عقد أول جمعية عمومية استثنائية لاختيار مجلس للنقابة مؤقت يدير فعاليات النقابة فى الفترة القادمه.

وكان المخرج أيمن عبد الرحمن والمخرج على أبو هميله قد تواصلا مع الاتحاد الدولى للصحفيين من خلال الزميل منير زعرور منسق الشرق الأوسط والعالم العربي فى الاتحاد الدولي للصحفيين، الذى أوصل المجهودات التى يقومان بها هم وزملائهم فى (حركة ثوار ماسبيرو)، وبعد الاعتداءات الاخيرة على المعتصميين فى ماسبيرو قام الاتحاد الدولى للصحفيين بكل نقاباته فى ارسال بيانات تأييد وتضامن لما يقوم به (حركة ثوار ماسبيرو) من أجل انشاء اعلام وطنى حر ومهنى ومستقل ومن اجل ظهور نقابتهم المستقلة نقابة الاذاعيين (راديو وتليفزيون) وهذه بعض من الرسائل التضامنية التى أرسلت لهم

Dear Ali and Ayman,

I am Jim Boumelha, President of the International Federation of Journalists and I have been following your efforts to launch the new union at ERTU through your exchange with Monir Zaaror.

I understand that you are due on May 1st to put together a board with the task of launching the new union. Please be assured that we are behind your efforts and we wish you good luck in your endeavours.

I have asked our member unions in several countries to get their broadcasters to send you messages of support. The issue was raised at a meeting today of union reps from the BBC belonging to the National Union of Journalists in the UK and they pledged full support. I believe that the Deputy General Secretary of the union will get in touch with you. I have also alerted union leaders in Spain, Italy, France, Belgium, Morocco, Finland, Brazil and Ireland to send you messages which I hope they will do.

Can you please keep me informed of decisions you will be taking at your meeting and, if you want us, the IFJ can put out a statement supporting you? Just give us the details.

We are very much aware of the many dangers following the recent attacks on the strikers. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to put pressure on the Egyptian authorities.

In solidarity
