The Muslim Brotherhood’s political wing, the FJP, on October 10 condemned the acquittal of all defendants held for involvement in the murderous January 25 revolution event called the Battle of the Camel, in which scores of peaceful protesters were killed and injured. All officials accused in that case escaped justice due to the weakness of the evidence and statements submitted by the public prosecutor.
The FJP renewed its commitment to honouring the rights of the martyrs who gave their precious blood in order for Egypt and its people to regain freedom and dignity.
The responsibility for delivery of justice rests primarily with the prosecution, which prepares the case documents. It takes charge of all civil and criminal proceedings. “Hence, the FJP urges the Attorney General to submit the real evidence that will convict the criminals who shot and shed the blood of innocent revolutionaries. Otherwise, he should resign from office, if he is unable to do the job. A more capable, honest and patriotic person should take his place,” an FJP statement said.
