The fact finding committee ordered by the Egyptian People's Assembly on Tuesday asked the parliament to withdraw confidence from Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim over the clashes near the Interior Ministry in downtown Cairo which left 10 people killed.
Lawmaker Osama Yasin, member of the committee appointed by the house to investigate clashes near the Interior Ministry, announced in a report that he found people who had been shot dead or injured during the clashes between demonstrators and security forces.
Yasin called for the parliament to pass a law to reform and clean the Interior Ministry from corrupting people, adding that the ministry should immediately stop the violence against demonstrators.
He also asked protesters to abide by peaceful demonstrations and not to cause damages to public entities, noting that the parliament should issue a law organizing the rights of peaceful protests and sit-ins under recommendations from committees of human rights.
According to Yasin, the parliament should activate laws that criminalize those people who have weapons and guns without license, and the Interior Ministry should move to another place since residents in the area have been suffering a lot from these clashes. |
