.- The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt today called on the military junta ruling the country to implement emergency measures that were ordered during the popular uprising, including an amnesty and the end of the Emergency Law. The request is contained in a statement released by the main opposition group in Egypt in response to a message posted today by the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, which was to last Friday, after the resignation of President Hosni Mubarak, that was in power since 1981.
In this military post, the miliary junta announced that he had dissolved Parliament, suspended the application of the Constitution, set a period of six months before handing over power to civilian authorities and assumed the legislative function. Specifically, the Muslim Brothers call for urgent steps are taken and set a timetable for the release of those detained during the protests that erupted on 25 January and ended the regime of Mubarak.
They also demand a general amnesty for political prisoners, based on decisions of special courts, and end the "state of emergency" imposed the Emergency Law which came into force in 1981. They also call for the formation of a new government that upholds the principles of "efficiency and honesty" and is composed of figures "commonly accepted" as well as bringing to justice all those suspected of corruption.
Finally, the Muslim Brotherhood claimed to accelerate the investigation to find those responsible for shooting demonstrators suffered during the last popular uprising, a protest of nearly three weeks in which there were about 300 deaths and more than five thousand injured. Such research should be extended to "the crimes committed by state security during the previous regime," the statement said the Islamic organization was outlawed during the administration of Mubarak.
The Muslim Brotherhood also maintain that "radical changes" to be applied in the country "require national participation of all sectors, and emphasize the need for electoral reforms and civil liberties.
