Rights activist denies receiving foreign funding to finance revolution Human rights activist Negad El-Borie denies allegations made by Battle of Camel defendant Mortada Mansour that he received illegal foreign funding
Negad El-Borie, an attorney at the cassation court, categorically denied allegations by fellow lawyer Mortada Mansour that he had received $2 million from US agencies in order to fund the January 25 Revolution. “I didn't receive this sum of money and don't have it at my disposal either,” said human rights activist El-Borie in a press release. Mansour, a controversial political figure and one of the prominent defendants in the Battle of the Camel trial, has been pleading not guilty. He called on authorities to check El-Borie's bank account to verify that he had received money to "finance revolutionary activities." “My bank account is public record at the Commercial International Bank of Egypt. I haven't received such a huge sum from abroad,” stated El-Borie, who accuses Mansour of slander and has officially asked the prosecutor general to take the necessary legal actions against him.
