Two demonstrations are scheduled to happen in Cairo this Friday. One in Tahrir Square to express refusal of Mubarak's expected apology and the other in the district of Nasr City to call for the Military Council to continue running the country until parliamentary and presidential elections. Youth unions and recently formed political parties called for a Friday million man march to Tahrir square that will protest against the release of former members of the National Democratic Party (NDP) and the former first lady Suzanne Mubarak. The spokesman of the Kefaya movement, Abdul Haleem Kandeel said the act of forgiving Mubarak and the rest of his family will be considered a counter revolution. We only have one responsibly and that is to protest again in Tahrir in order to protect the revolution and commemorate the memory of the martyrs, said Kandeel. Kandeel accused Mubarak and his family of stealing money as well as killing, imprisoning and oppressing Egyptians. He also accused Mubarak of treason regarding his relations with Israel and the U.S. One of the founders of the Public Alliance, Abdul Ghafar Shokr blamed Mubarak's corruption for why the Egyptian economy has deteriorated. He said that Egyptians should vote on whether or not Mubarak should be forgiven. Shokr also criticized the release of the former members the NDP. Leader of the Egyptian Women to Support Change movement, Dr. Karima al-Hefnawi called for Egyptians to head to Tahrir next Friday to demand getting rid of corruption and former NDP members. She said that negotiation at the expense of the martyrs is an act of treason. A demonstration will also be held after Friday's prayer in front of the Unknown Soldier Memorial, Madinet Nasr that will demand the military to continue ruling the country until presidential and parliamentary elections. The demonstration will also be refusing the proposal of forming a presidential council. The organizers justified the reasons behind their demonstrations. They feel the military institution managed to gain the support of Egyptians, since they played an important role at a critical time.
