 | Opposition claim presidential elections undemocratic |
The Co-ordinating Centre of the Opposition held a sanctioned meeting outside the Qalaba cinema on March 16. Speakers said the opposition would not allow for unjust and undemocratic presidential elections in October though endeavours are made to push an abnormal Electoral Code through the parliament. Slogans calling for the government's resignation were also heard for the first time at a rally by the united opposition.
Organisers of the action said 15,000-20,000 people were involved in the rally, while law-enforcement bodies estimate the figure at 5,000. The two-hour action ended without incident.
