FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Mr Deeb said the killing and wounding of protesters began after 4:00pm on that
day, which places the responsibility of the bloodshed squarely on the
shoulders of the armed forces.
“Therefore, it does not make sense that police ordered the killing of
protesters. The police did not have the jurisdiction or authority to issue
any orders since the authority had been transferred to the head of the army.”
Whatever the authority, it was police and other elements of the interior
ministry who caused the deaths of the more than 800 people who died and the
injuries of the others, activists and lawyers for families of the victims
say.
Mubarak took the decision based on Law 183 of 1952, which stipulates that once
the armed forces are in control of security, police are under their
jurisdiction and the head of the army is in charge.
Mr Deeb said Mubarak took that decision after he was informed by Adly that
police in Cairo’s Tahrir Square – the cradle of the uprising – were being
attacked by protesters.
Adly phoned Mubarak and told him “help me, I can’t see a solution,”
Mr Deeb said.
“Thus, any killing or injury took place either on orders from the
military commander … or was the result of an individual decision taken by
officers and soldiers,” added Mr Deeb.
But the lawyer went on to argue that army and officers “have clearly
said, and there is no question about it, that they (army) did not open fire
and I believe the army because it doesn’t lie.
“The army’s duty is to protect people and property … so the question is
who killed and caused the injuries” of protesters? “This is the
main point of the case.”
Mr Deeb went on to cite an article published in February by government
newspaper Al-Akhbar that there was “a foreign conspiracy to strike
Egypt.”
He also caused an uproar in court when he described protesters who forced
Mubarak to quit as “troublemakers,” triggering the ire of a lawyer
representing families of the victims.
“We are revolutionaries, not troublemakers,” the lawyer shouted in
an address to the president of the court who threatened to throw him out if
he interrupted the defence again.
The defence is due to continue its case on Thursday.
