Political and revolutionary groups in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Sunday released a list of demands through the square's demonstrator-run broadcasts. The list included some new demands.
They want a new, civilian interior minister; the Ministry of Interior to be subject to judicial oversight; military tribunals for civilians halted; the recently passed political party law and laws against protesting revoked; a new budget, and new minimum and maximum benchmarks for wages.
"It has become obvious to everybody that, after six months since the revolution, none of the people's demands have been met. The toppled regime remains in power through its vestiges and policies," the statement said.
“Egyptians are growing dubious of the military council’s stance on the revolution, and they maintain their right to use all legitimate forms of pressure, foremost of which are general strikes and civil disobedience, to accomplish their demands."
Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians took part in mass protests on Friday in several governorates. Among other demands, demonstrators called for faster prosecution of former regime officials and officers accused of murdering protesters during the January uprising, which forced former president Hosni Mubarak to resign.
Some groups of protesters in Cairo’s Tahrir Square have vowed to continue their sit-in until the demands are met.
