CAIRO — The former Egyptian presidential candidate Hamdeen Sabahi is leading a fierce attack against the regime of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. Sabahi voiced his opposition to the current security practices against students, the imprisonment of youth political activists and the acts of torture in prisons.

Sabahi declared the formation of a student committee that reflects the political action taking place at many of Egyptian universities, which expresses the pulse and demands of the universities students regarding the rights and freedom in a democratic civil state.

This comes in conjunction with the protests announced by the April 6 Youth Movement that will be holding a rally in the next few days (at the time of publishing the exact date has not yet been announced) that will continue until the anniversary of the January 25 Revolution in protest against the current policies in Egypt. This is in light of Sabahi’s participation in the current wave of protests in Egypt against a ruling issued by the Egyptian judiciary acquitting former President Hosni Mubarak, his two sons and the men of his regime of the charges of which they were accused — these included killing protesters, looting public money and exporting gas to Israel.

Sabahi accused the June 30 Coordination Committee — the coalition that overthrew the Muslim Brotherhood President Mohammed Morsi and that joined the Military Council to draw-up the draft Egyptian road map — of handing the revolution back over to Mubarak and his regime.
