Video of Mostafa el-Fiqqi before the revolution defending the extension of the emergency law, the draconian legal framework Mubarak used to justify repression, torture, kidnapping and detention of activists all throughout his reign.
This is NOT the man Egypt should nominate for the Arab League secretary general post.
I was interviewing protesters with disabilities in front of the parliament, when a march by school students passed by.
During the university professors’ march from Manyal to Tahrir, on 8 February, protesters passed by the parliament, where they stood and chanted: Batel! Batel! (Illegitimate! Illegitimate!), referring to the vote rigging which took place in the elections in November 2010.
Protesters also denounced Fathi Surrur, NDP parliament speaker and one of Mubarak’s most notorious old guards.
In the pictures below, protesters assembled in front of a shop facing the parliament, denouncing Surrur’s banner put up by the shop owner. The owner freaking out, tore it down few minutes later.
