Revolution youth, Ahly fans call for dismissal of PM
Published in Almasry Alyoum on 05 - 02 - 2012

Several revolutionary and protest movements on Saturday called for the dismissal of the government amid the aftermath of the massacre in Port Said last week at a football match that left 74 people dead.
Members of the 25 January Revolution Youth Coalition, the April 6 Youth Movement, Our Egypt movement and Ultras Ahlawy met for a People's Youth Assembly Committee meeting. Khaled Abdel Hamid, a member of the Popular Alliance Party, said it is time for Parliament to give orders to the government.
The Interior Ministry is unable to control its officers around the ministry and prevent them from using tear gas on protesters, Abdel Hamid said.
Wednesday's match left at least 71 people dead and 1,000 injured when fans of Port Said's Masry team stormed the field seconds after their team won the match, attacking players and fans from the Cairo-based Ahly team. So far 12 people have been killed in ensuing clashes with police around the country.
Ultras Ahlawy member Ahmed Ghareeb accused Port Said spectators of killing Ahly football fans. He said a Muslim Brotherhood member told them there was a plan to "liquidate them."
Ghareeb said Ahly fans were issued threats while on their way to the stadium in Port Said. He said they found out there were only 10 army recruits and one officer ensuring the safety of Ahly fans at the stadium.
Abdel Rahman Fares, a member of the 25 January Revolution Youth Coalition, accused three police generals of being behind the killings.
Meanwhile, Mohamed Gaballah, a political activist and international law professor, said Article 33 of the constitutional declaration gives the People's Assembly the right to manage the affairs of the country and to decide on general state policies. He also called on Parliament to set a timeline for the handover of power to civilians.
Saif Abdel Fattah, a political science professor, called for civil disobedience on 11 February in which members from political and revolutionary powers and the People's Assembly would participate.
Osama Yassin, the head of the committee, said the fact-finding committee formed to investigate the Port Said killings has come to frightening conclusions. He said the attorney general should be dismissed because previous investigations in other clashes have led to nowhere.
Meanwhile, Shady al-Ghazaly Harb, the founder of Awareness Party, called for the removal of Ganzouri's government and the formation of government whose members belong to the Freedom and Justice Party or a coalition government to lead the coming stage.
Harb called for early elections and the cancellation of Article 28 of the constitutional declaration, which gives the head of the presidential election committee immunity.
