The April 6 Youth Movement called on Egyptians to participate in nationwide protests planned for Friday.
Activists and revolutionary groups have called for a second “Friday of Anger” on 27 May to express their opposition to calls to pardon former President Hosni Mubarak and other figures from his regime.
Calling the planned protest the "Friday for Saving the Revolution,” they hope for million-man marches throughout Egypt, along with an open-ended sit-in until Mubarak and figures from his regime are brought to transparent, public trials.
In a statement, Inji Hamdy, spokesperson for the movement, urged Egyptians to march from mosques and churches to public squares.
Hamdy criticized the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, saying it neglects the revolution’s demands and makes decisions unilaterally without engaging in dialogue with political powers.
The rate of arrests and military trials of civilians has increased, and political activists are being kidnapped and tried as thugs, Hamdy added.
The movement called for allowing representatives from all political forces to participate in shaping the new political system in Egypt.
It called to postpone parliamentary elections until agreement is reached on how to conduct the election in a suitable manner.
It also said procedures for forming a new constitution should begin by nominating figures for a panel designated with the task of creating the constitution.
All state institutions, local councils and ministries, as well as the media, should be purged of corrupt leaders, the movement’s statement said, adding that security and judicial institutions should be cleared of corrupt figures so that those institutions can properly carry out their responsibilities.
The movement also called for electing governors, halting the use of military tribunals for trying civilians, and releasing all political detainees.
