Cairo — ANHRI warns the Egyptian authorities and FJ ruling party from the continuing using of violence in Tahrir square. In addition it warns from the use of the excessive violence against the demonstrators in Qaser El-Eny and Mohamed Mahmoud streets. It makes the president responsible for the use of any force against the demonstrators.
The clashes erupted between the police forces and the demonstrators in the streets of Shiekh Ryhan, Gendi and Qaser El- Eny in the anniversary of Mohamed Mahmoud which took place in November 2011, which caused tens of victims due to the use of excessive force by the police forces. Since November 19, the clashes continued which led to deaths and several injuries in addition to hundreds of arrest by the social security forces which are responsible for securing the minister of interior, counsel of ministries building, Shoura and people's assembly building. The forces have fired several tear gas bombs, rubber bullets and stones. Despite the call of the political forces for peaceful demonstrations to protest against the decisions of the president and thousands responded to that and gathered on last Friday in Tahrir square but the violence did not stop, which led to several injuries and arrests which continue even while writing this press release.
