Disabled protesters file complaint against Morsy

Dozens of disabled protesters outside the presidential palace have filed a complaint against President Mohamed Morsy, accusing him of failing to respond to their demands.

The protesters also accused Interior Minister Ahmed Gamal Eddin, palace security chief Ahmed Hendy, and Heliopolis Police Department Deputy Chief Wael Ali of assaulting them and threatening to disband the sit-in.

The protesters, whose sit-in has entered its seventh day, demand housing, jobs, and health insurance, as well as representation in the Constituent Assembly, Parliament and the presidential administration.  

Sobhy Abdel Maqsoud, one of the protesters, said they are considering a hunger strike if their demands are ignored or if security assaults renew.
