"Mr President, the European Parliament wants to support the steps the Egyptian people are taking towards democracy, human rights and developing the rule of law. That is why it is particularly important that during the ‘current transition period’, as it is referred to, the international community exercises complete zero tolerance towards violations of human and fundamental rights.
We particularly want this resolution to make an appeal on behalf of the blogger, Alaa Abd El-Fattah, who has been held by the military government and whose case, like many others, has been heard by a military court. The chain of events began with a peaceful demonstration in Maspero in support of the freedom of religion of the Coptic Christians and led to the army’s intervention, the slaughter of 25 Christians, the wounding of hundreds of others, and charges being brought against Abd El-Fattah in a military court.
Firstly, legal proceedings against civilians must be conducted by a civil court, and, secondly, prisoners of conscience must be freed immediately. We appeal to Egypt’s present government to show respect for all fundamental rights."@en1
