This is the biggest mass execution ruling this century. But one man, the Foreign Minister, could intervene to stop the firing squad. He is the one member of the repressive regime who has to deal with the outside world. If we show him this kangaroo court ruling will lead Egypt into further isolation from key partners, he could step in. Join the urgent call to stop the executions: Yesterday, a kangaroo court in Egypt sentenced 528 people to death in a lightning ruling after 45 minutes. This is the biggest mass execution ruling this century, but one man can stop the killings. It was a political show trial -- the 528 are accused of rioting and killing one police officer and their defence lawyers were banned from the final proceedings! The military government is using the firing squad to wipe out the political opposition. But there is growing evidence Egypts Foreign Minister, Nabil Fahmy, has been able to interject in judicial proceedings when seen to have negative repercussions across the world. Governments are condemning the ruling, but lets make sure Ministers in the EU, US and the region clearly tell him to step in, or face isolation and financial penalties. This is not just about injustice, and the hundreds of lives and families that will be destroyed. If the world does not speak up against this persecution of political Islam, the consequences for Egypt and the world are beyond dangerous. FM Fahmyhas to face the world on this barbarous ruling. Click to build a million strong petition to key Foreign Ministers to persuade him to intervene and ensure a fair trial, then lets bombard his embassies everywhere with messages to Stop the Mega Mass Execution: avaaz.org/en/stop_mass_execution_i/?bjpepeb&v=37952 After the hope of Tahrir Square, where hundreds of thousands took to the streets to overthrow dictator Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian people democratically elected a Muslim Brotherhood government. But last summer the military staged a populist coup, Brotherhood supporters rioted, and then the military declared the party a terrorist organization and violently cracked down -- 16,000 democracy activists, journalists, and even teenage school girls were arrested! The future of democracy is crumbling -- while only one security officer has been sentenced for the hundreds of protester deaths in Cairo, the judiciary is repeatedly being used to crackdown on political dissent. In this trial there was blatant disregard for legal procedures. As the military authorities iron fist and intimidation grows bolder, extremism is fuelled. This is the harshest mass conviction in modern Egyptian history.This could be an eery lull before a likely terrifying storm of violent retaliation. Egypt is at a critical crossroads, but what happens next could affect us all. Fahmy has been seeking legitimacy for his government in the eyes of the world -- lets let him know he cant have it unless this barbaric sentence is overturned. Sign the urgent petition now to stop state-sponsored murder: avaaz.org/en/stop_mass_execution_i/?bjpepeb&v=37952 Time and again the Avaaz community has forcefully advocated for justice, peace and meaningful reconciliation between embittered communities. Right now Egypt’s future hangs in the balance, and a wildly unjust and provocative ruling like the one handed down in Minya could push it over the edge. Let’s bring the people’s voice to this horrific situation and ensure that these 528 lives ares saved.
