No To Martial Courts
No To Emergency Court

We, the people siginging below, refute and condemn referring civilians to martial courts. Also, we condemn the refusal of the military ruler (The Egyptian President) to countersign the innocence verdict given in the law case against the Peasants of the village of Sarando, as well as his countersigning the sentence made against them in the past. His refusal to countersign means that they have to go through another Emergency Law Court trial. It is a fact that verdicts given in these courts can not be appealed against. Another well known fact is that the administrative power plays a huge role in choosing the judges. All this process is part of the Emergency Laws enforced to in Egypt.
