[This is a leaflet created by the founder of the facebookgroup Egyptian German Network for Changing Egypt to be distributed at tommorrow's demonstration at Midan Tahrir. It was translated by me, an Arabic version is also in preparation.]
1) Mubarak and his regime invested a lot in building up a brutal security apparatus. This security apparatus served to strengthen the regime and to terrorise, torture and slaughter countless Egyptians. Mubarak and his men have have to be brought to justice for these atrocities, and for murdering hundreds of peaceful protesters since Jan 25 immediately. This includes leading figures of the NDP, Zakria Azmi, Safwat al-Sharif and many more as well as F. Sirour. And this has to happen NOW!
2) Power has to be transferred immediately to a civilian technocratic presidential council, composed of well-qualified individuals who have the approval and acceptance of the Egyptian people, together with army representatives. The revolutionaries and their views have to be represented in this council. It is sovereign in leading the country, building up the state, and assisting the reformulation of the constitution. This technocratic council – not the military – is to appoint the transitional Egyptian government. The transition of power to a democratically elected government has to last as long as it takes to establish parties, to conclude cases of corruption and other crimes committed against the Egyptian people, and to allow the Egyptians to shake off the fear that was installed in them in the last years. It may well take a longer time, up to two years, until democratic elections can be held. But the transition to a civilian technocratic council has to happen NOW!
3) The state of emergence has to be lifted – immediately! No restrictions to the right to demonstrate. Immediate dissolution of the terror-state security apparatus.
We all have to be on alert now. The attacks on Coptic institutions in these days seem to be a deliberate strategy to destroy the atmosphere of tolerance and the solidarity among Egyptians.
