ECHO and the Friends of the Petrie have been promoting this, please help:
PLEASE read the linked article about the destruction of the Dahshur archaeological site, and also the following blog: http://egyptianchronicles.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/an-international-sos-from-dahshur.html#.UPCAsLN-I3G.facebook
Photographs of the building damage here:

The laws are in place to prevent this happening but if the police and the Antiquities authorities don't enforce them, then Egypt's cultural heritage will disappear.
It's difficult to know how effective petitions are but they must make more impact than no action at all. This petition does not make any specific requests and is far too long and rambling, but if you can, please sign here to demonstrate international support for the protection of Cultural Heritage:
