Basyouny: Judges’ authorities must be restored if any participation in elections is to take place.

Chancellor Ismail Basyouny President of the Judiciary Club has asserted in a statement to Ikhwanonline that the judiciary will not participate in the supervision of the up-coming elections.

He stated that "Conditions will be laid down before any serious contemplating of any involvement in the elections. It is completely unacceptable for the regime to continue to undermine the judiciary’s authorities where they use judges as scapegoats for any chaos and mishaps during elections. Unless the judges’ glory is restored and complete respect enforced there will be no participation in any elections.

In conclusion the Chancellor was adamant in conveying that the feelings he expressed did not only belong to the judges but to many if not all the noble and respectable citizens of Egypt.
