Egypt: Statement of the 'Coalition of Youths of the Wrath Revolution'
 
By Aurora
 
Hieronder het persbericht vanuit Cairo dat vandaag is uitgegeven door de Coalitie van Jeugd - die aan de voorfront staat van de protesten in Egypte - inclusief hun voornaamste eisen.
 
Het is mij toegestuurd door iemand die aan het hoofd staat van een vooraanstaande Egyptische mensenrechten organisatie (ik heb de gegevens gewist om haar identiteit te beschermen).

Subject: Fw: Statement of the “Coalition of Youths of the Wrath Revolution”

Press Conference in El-Shorook Newspaper Headquarters

Fellow great Egyptian citizens ... We are your sons and daughters, your
brothers and sisters who are protesting in Tahrir square and other squares
of Egypt, promise you not to go back to our homes until the demands of your
great revolution are realized.

Millions have gone out to overthrow the regime, and so the matter goes
beyond figures in particular to the whole administration of the Egyptian
State , which was transformed from a servant of the people to a master of
the them.

We have heard the president's disappointing speech. And really someone who
has killed more than 300 youths, kidnapped and injured thousands more is
not entitled to brag about past glories. Nor are his followers entitled to
talk about the President's dignity, because the dignity life and security
of the Egyptian people is far more valuable than any single person's
dignity no matter how high a position he holds.

Our people live though tragedy for a week now, since Mubarak's regime
practiced a siege against us, releasing criminals and outlaws to terrorize
us, imposing a curfew, stopping public transportation, closing banks,
cutting off communications and shutting down the internet .. But if it was
not for the courage of Egyptian youths who stayed up nights in the People's
Committees it would have been a terrible tragedy.

We want this crisis to end as soon as possible and for our lives and our
families' lives to get back to normal, but we do not trust Hosni Mubarak in
leading the transitional period. He is the same person, who refused over
the past 30 years any real political and economic reforms, and he hired
criminals to attack Tahrir square and the peaceful demonstrators there,
killing dozens and injuring thousands – including women, elderly, and
children.

Also, we will not allow the corrupt to remain in charge of the state
institutions; therefore, we will continue our sit-in until the following
demands are realized:

1- The resignation of the President and by the way this does not contradict
the peaceful transition of power nor the current constitution which allows
and organizes this process.

2- the immediate lifting of the state of emergency and releasing all
freedoms and putting an immediate stop to the humiliation and torture that
takes place in police stations

3- the immediate dissolve of both the Parliament and Shura Council

4- forming a national unity government that political forces agree upon
which manages the processes of constitutional and political reform

5- forming a judicial committee with the participation of some figures from
local human rights organizations to investigate the perpetrators of the
collapse of state of security this past week and the murder and injury of
thousands of our people.

6- Military in charge of protecting peaceful protestors from thugs and
criminal affiliated with the corrupt regime and ensuring the safety of
medical and nutritional convoys to civilians

7- the immediate release of all political detainees and in their forefront
our colleague Wael Ghoneim
