The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information (ANHRI) expressed today its great annoyance for the news about murdering the political activist Mohamed Jamal, member of a coalition of committees defending the revolution, by anonymous, yesterday 21 Jan. 2012 at dawn, in front of the High Court, while on his way home after a protest in front of the public prosecutor’s office demanding judiciary cleanse.
Jamal left the protest at 4 a.m. after agreeing with his colleagues on mobilizing for the marches calling for judiciary independence and on their participation in the forthcoming 25th of January 2012, minutes after he left, Jamal returned to his colleagues’ sit- in in front of the public prosecutor’s office bleeding of a stab with a sharp blade, he was pointing to his friends at the area behind the High Court when he fell dead.

In a different incident, political activist Karim Abo Zed, member of the revolution coalition in Algharbya governorate, died on the same day 21- Jan. in a mysterious accident on the desert road, in his way to Almenya governorate to attend the 2nd Conference of Egypt’s revolutionaries.
ANHRI holds the Egyptian government responsible to investigate the assassinations of Egyptian activists; to arrest Mohamed Jamal murderers and to investigate the coincidence between the two incidents specially that both of them are relating to the calls to peacefully demonstrating to resume the Egyptian revolution on the forthcoming 25th of Jan. ”The government is the body responsible for the safety of citizens, and its failure to bring the perpetrators to justice is considered to be collusion”
ANHRI said “we don’t know yet the factual reasons behind Jamal murder, nor the circumstances of Abo Zed accident but we are asking for immediate and transparent investigation in these two cases, for we are afraid that there might be a group that carries out a physical liquidation scheme of activists, given the murder threatens that some activists have been receiving earlier.”
