Egyptian human rights activist: Election is held under strange rules here
Euroradio's correspondent talked to director of Egyptian human rights defense center Ahmed Samih in Cairo.
We cannot say that Egypt reached democracy
and that it is ruled by the Military Council in one and the same sentence.
There's a huge contradiction here. It seems to me that the Military Council was
the real source of power to Murabak. We can be very focused on getting rid of
Murabak, but the proper way is to break the system. And one of the main things
the system had was the Military Council, as an organization".
I would like to say and this is very important that we wanted to have election
from the beginning. But before the election we wanted to have a Constitution.
Before going to election. But the political will of the Military Council
decided to create more complicated situations. It was the way to show all of us
how much chaos democracy could cause in our life. Their purpose was to put us in this
chaos somehow.
The path we choose is a very unique and different one from any other country -
we go to the election to choose the people who will write the Constitution for
us. This is illogic, like playing the game and then writing the rules. This is
very-very unbelievable and unacceptable".
The Egyptian human rights activists noted that the only way to get democracy in
Belarus - uniting of all political forces, of the whole society.
