In Egypt, opposition groups are rejecting the results of a referendum approving constitutional changes backed by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. All of Egypt’s opposition parties boycotted the vote and say turnout reached just 5 percent. The measure grants Mubarak new powers to dissolve Parliament, weaken electoral oversight, and affirm emergency powers. This is George Ishaq, deputy coordinator of the Kefaya movement.
George Ishaq: “We will not keep silent about this fraud. I am declaring in the name of Kefaya that we will confront this fabrication, and we will not stop confronting this regime until it falls, because this regime has no legal foundation. We will confront this in coordination with other political groups.”
