Al-Dostour Party condemns the abuse of children by the MB, calls upon security bodies to practice maximum restraint to spoil the plans of those trading in blood

 

Al-Dostour Party condemns the ongoing armed political violence, and attempts over the past few weeks to drag the country to wide-scale confrontations. This was an expected result of the repeated incitement by Muslim Brotherhood leaders, calling for civil war, and glorifying death for young, innocent people who were being fooled in the name of religion, while religion has nothing to do with such calls.

Unfortunately, such deception campaign did not spare even children who were brought to Rabaa El-Adawya's sit-in yesterday to stage a demonstration while carrying their coffins, clearly violating all morals and the International Declaration on the Rights of Children. Such ugly demonstration also violated the innocence of those children who are about to start their lives.

Al-Dostour Party demands that all local and international organizations concerned with rights of children strongly condemn such immoral practices, and to take measures aimed at protecting Egyptian children from such shameful abuse that violates any human standards.

Al-Dostour Party believes that the repeated calls and incitement for violence by Brotherhood leaders in order to achieve political gains should be considered a criminal act. The Brotherhood leaders have repeatedly incited their young members to stage demonstrations in which they clashed with regular citizens, without any consideration or respect for Egyptian blood. They have also blocked key bridges, attacked train stations, airports, military establishments, and vital state institutions, endangering the lives of their own supporters, besides the lives of ordinary Egyptians.

This only results in new victims each day, a sad reality which the Brotherhood exploit to trade in their blood, and to spread more hatred among citizens of the same country.

While Al-Dostour condemns all acts of armed violence, that are illegal and condemned on the popular and moral levels, we call upon all state institutions and other responsible parties to stand up to their historic responsibility at this critical stage, and save the country from a plot aimed at threatening its unity and stability by groups and organizations whose behavior have led to divisions and splits in other countries, with the same bloody manner.

We also call upon all political and security bodies to practice maximum restraint while dealing with demonstrators and the young people who are being deceived and used as human shields by terrorists. Those involved in incitement and plotting attacks should also be held accountable to maintain Egypt's unity, as a state and society, in the framework of the rule of law and respect of human rights and freedoms.

Dostour Party confirms its trust in the ability of the Egyptian people to overcome all difficulties in their struggle to achieve the goals of the 25 January Revolution, and to turn their legitimate demands for bread, freedom and social justice for each Egyptian citizen, into a reality.

May God protect Egypt, and its people from any harm.
