For Immediate Release
Egyptians Worldwide for Democracy & and Justice Network (EW4DJ)
The Egyptians
Worldwide for Democracy and Justice Network (EW4DJ) condemns the horrible
explosion at the headquarters of the Dakahlia Province Security Forces in the city
of Mansura. We offer our sincere condolences to the families of the
victims and pray for the speedy recovery of those who were injured.
From various parts of
the globe. the members of EW4DJ were anxiously following these sad events,
seeking to learn the results of the legal investigations and the official reports
of forensic evidences to identify those responsible for this crime and to put
them on trial. Sadly however, we were surprised by the provisional PM of the Egyptian
government; Dr.Biblawy rushing to assign the responsibility for this criminal
act to the organization of the Muslim Brotherhood, and to declare that the MB
is a terrorist organization. This type of hasty initiative seems like crude utilization
of tragic events to score political points. Declaring any political party
or charity organization as a terrorist organization despite the absence of any
Egyptian law that will support this action is an action without precedent in
the modern history.
The Egyptians
Worldwide for Democracy and Justice Network (EW4DJ) considers that the Biblawy
government itself a usurpation of power from a legitimately elected president
and government. Further more, this government appears
now as determined to stamp all the opposition, and especially the Islamic parties,
as terrorists so and move to eliminate them from the political stage in Egypt.
This is an opportunistic and fascist tactics step that does not reflect
the wisdom needed at this inflamed era of Egypt's history. The Network also
condemns the threats being broadcast over the public and private media outlets,
controlled by the coup, which speak of liquidating the Brotherhood from its
roots and the killing of its members, and emphasizing the determination of the
coup authority to confront any demonstration with excessive and violent use of
force.
EW4DJ also condemns
the targeting of homes and business establishments, and their looting in the
city of Mansura, claiming that they belong to citizens who are associated with
the Muslim Brotherhood. The decision of the government to freeze the assets of
1055 private charitable Islamic organizations with no evidence or legal
process, is leading to the destruction of Islamic philanthropy that is
essential to millions of poor Egyptians who depend on its medical, social and
educational services of these NGOs.
As a result, EW4DJ expresses
deep concern for the deteriorating security situation and the irrational
behavior of the Coup regime, and emphasizes that the continuation of these
drastic and punitive actions will surely will lead the country into a civil war.
We hereby call upon all level heads and sincere leaders of the the country to
avoid and to save Egypt in this critical juncture.
Finally, the Egyptians
Worldwide for Democracy and Justice Network (EW4DJ) emphasizes the
responsibility of the current Egyptian authorities to protect the lives and
properties of all citizens without any discrimination, and to protect the right
of peaceful demonstration and protest, and not to use violence against the
demonstrators and university students, and not to confuse a popular and
peaceful revolution against the military coup, to restore the rule of law and
the process of constitutional democracy, with the terrorist activities that the
coup government has failed so far to bring to justice.
On behalf of many
Egyptians living abroad, we stress our serious distrust in the legitimacy and
integrity of the coup authorities. Therefore, we call for a speedy international
investigations of these events and of all of all other crimes committed
since the July 3rd coup.
