To hold the Egyptian Parliament and judiciary of my responsibility so if anything happens to me i requested several medical checkups from independent sources and yet this has not been provided. I also havent gotten any medical care here inside the prison, and this is a record for the history, and for the stick of not to mention my state and thus if anything happens to me, whatever it is either my health fails or anything happens to my safety, i hold the egyptian regime responsibly. A congressman signed a petition calling for the release of the al jazeera journalists, saying Abdullah Alshami should have a fair style. If Abdullah Alshami is to die, hell be a marter. That is not in the egyptian militarys interest. Abdullah alshami should be given medical care, allowed to recover, get his weight and health back and he should be given a fair trial for the world to see. Three other al jazeera journalists are due in court in cairo on thursday, accused of conspiring with the outlawed muslim brotherhood. They have been in prison for 138 days.

We are waiting to hear from the Commission Set up to investigate allegations of fraud. We are waiting to hear how widespread it is and results of the runoff. Its anticipated that therell be an inconclusive vote and therell be a run off between Abdullah Abdullah and ashraf ghani. If that is the case, pencil booked for 14 june is when the poll will take place. Both canned says said they are determined to go to the polls, both convinced of winning a majority. Any idea how ashraf ghani is going to make up the ground. 45 for Abdullah Abdullah is a substantial lead and how Abdullah Abdullah hopes to cement his position. Theres a lot of talk in kabul, behind the scenes that both sides are negotiating and Abdullah Abdullahs camp is trying to convince mr ashraf ghani concede, making Abdullah Abdullah president. The reason that they are pushing for this is many dont want to see a runoff vote. If it goes ahead on 14 june, its at the peak of the taliban spring offensive this week the armed Group Announced its spring offensive and carried out dozens of violently attacks. If a vote is called in the middle of june, it will be increasingly violent vote and the voters that go to the polls will be at risk of attack. A lot of back channelling trying to convince ashraf ghani to succeed. Doesnt sound like he will, hes determined to go ahead. Its looking to be like a long shot. This week Abdullah Abdullah secured key backing from the 3rdplaced candidate. Its looking difficult for ashraf ghani to be named president of the country.

Foreign workers may not have to get employers consent before leaving qatar. Bigger fines could be handed to employers if they confiscate the passports of Foreign Workers, and to make it easier to change jobs, Foreign Workers may not need permission from previous employers. The announcement was short on specifics and did not free workers from the control of their employers. It still appears from this that a Migrant Worker needs the permission of their employer to move jobs, for the duration of their contract which may be up to five years. The employer maintains a right to object to the worker leaving the country. Which we think is illegitimate. The government should abolish the exit permit.
