RSVP: Naomi Klein and Mohammed Rafi Arefin interview Egyptian activists

Just a decade ago, Cairo’s Tahrir Square was synonymous with a hopeful, youth-led movement for liberation and democracy. Today, as Egypt prepares to host next month’s U.N. climate summit, journalists are routinely arrested and thousands of political prisoners languish behind bars.




Just a decade ago, Cairo’s Tahrir Square was synonymous with a hopeful, youth-led movement for liberation and democracy. Today, as Egypt prepares to host next month’s United Nations climate summit, journalists are routinely arrested and thousands of political prisoners languish behind bars.

As the world gets hotter, basic freedoms are under ever greater assault around the globe.

Tomorrow, Naomi Klein and Mohammed Rafi Arefin will moderate a conversation with Sanaa Seif, sister of one of Egypt’s highest profile political prisoners Alaa Abd El-Fattah, as well as Omar Robert Hamilton, Sharif Abdel Kouddous, and Bill McKibben.

Join The Intercept and the University of British Columbia’s Centre for Climate Justice tomorrow at 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT for this live video conversation.
