UN HUMAN RIGHTS ARM URGES EGYPTIAN PRESIDENT TO LISTEN TO PEOPLE'S
DEMANDSNew York, Jul 2 2013 3:00PMThe United Nations human rights
office today called on President Mohamed Morsi to listen to the
demands of the Egyptian people as expressed throughout mass
demonstrations over the past few days in the Middle Eastern country.

"We are following with great concern the extremely tense situation in
Egypt and wish to convey a strong message of solidarity and support to
the Egyptian people," the Spokesperson for the Office of the UN High
Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), Rupert Colville,
<"http://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=13496&LangID=E">told
reporters in Geneva.

"We call on the President of Egypt to listen to the demands and wishes
of the Egyptian people […] and to address key issues raised by the
opposition and civil society in recent months, as well as to heed the
lessons of the past in this particularly fragile situation."

Egypt has been undergoing a democratic transition following the
toppling of President Hosni Mubarak two years ago in the wake of mass
protests similar to those seen in other parts of the Middle East and
North Africa as part of what had been called the "Arab Spring."

Protests have been taking place in various cities in recent days, with
protesters reportedly calling for the resignation of President Mohamed
Morsi. Yesterday, Egypt's army said that the country's rival parties
have 48 hours to resolve the political crisis.

"We urge the Egyptian Government to continue to make every effort to
protect the rights of citizens to engage in peaceful protests and
demonstrations," Mr. Colville said, stressing that any perpetrators of
attacks against peaceful demonstrators who are found to have used
excessive force should be held accountable.

"We welcome public assurances made by the law enforcement agencies and
the military that no measures will be taken that could lead to
excessive use of force against peaceful demonstrators."

Yesterday, the Secretary-General
<"http://www.un.org/sg/offthecuff/index.asp?nid=2881">repeated his
call for all parties to uphold the law, while respecting the right to
demonstrate peacefully. In particular, he underlined that this right
must be extended to female demonstrators, given the concerns over the
high number of reports of sexual assaults. Jul 2 2013 3:00PM
