A petition against the military tribunals and the initial list of signatories:
No to Government’s Assault on the Opposition, No to Military Tribunals
We, the undersigned who belong to a diverse spectrum of parties and political tendencies, strongly condemn the regime’s decision to refer tens of Muslim Brotherhood senior members to military courts, denying them the right, as civilians, to a fair trial in front of an ordinary judge. We also express our solidarity with the liberal dissident Dr. Ayman Nour, who is denied his legal rights in prison–regardless of the political or intellectual differences that may exist between us.
We, the undersigned, see that the regime’s move to prosecute civilians in military courts and enforcing a siege on Dr. Nour, in addition to other worrying developments, as a sign that the authorities insist on maintaining their tyrannical rule, based on repressing freedoms, subverting the will of the people and besieging real opposition powers.
We are fully aware of the government’s current serious measures, as they reflect the insistence of Mubarak and his minions on making their authority everlasting, consolidating their powers and maintaining their dictatorship.
Our political responsibility obliges us, we the undersigned, to consider the attack against Al-Ghad (Tomorrow) Party and the Muslim Brothers as an attack against all of us–regardless of the political differences–and obliges us to unite ranks to confront the regime’s attack via peaceful means.
