Hi Liz and Moritz, this is really disturbing and thanks for sharing. Please
meet Tarek, the founder of Cairo Hackerspace and an inspiring community
leader.

Hey Tarek, I'm horrified to hear that your space was shut down. Is there
anything we can do, as the global hackerspaces community? Hope you can
either find a new location or get back to communal hacking at the Townhouse
soon...

All my best,
Anna
