Dostour Party member, Shady Al-Ghazali, said on Wednesday that the revolutionary forces will stage three marches heading to the High Court on Friday under the slogan of "Holding Mursi's regime accountable." He added that they will boycott the upcoming parliamentary elections.

Ghazali told Aswat Masriya that participating in the elections is recognition of the legitimacy of the regime, saying, "We do not recognise these elections, we will boycott it and work against it in the streets until the regime falls. We demand a new constitution, new presidential and parliamentary elections".
