The Austrian Coptic organization “Kimi” declared to bring a formal request to the Austrian police to organize a demonstration on June 30. The organizers of the demonstration explained to obtain a permit prior to the demonstration in order to increase the number of participants. The demonstrators will demand of the Egyptian President Mohammed Mursi (Mursī) earlier presidential elections.

The organization announced in a statement yesterday that its members are leading a campaign to collect signatures for the form "Tamarod" or “Rebellion” in cities across Austria due to the president’s failure to manage the crisis in Egypt. Several other Coptic organizations are planning demonstrations in other European capitals on June 30 (Peter Majdī, al-Tahrīr, Jun. 12, p. 3). Read original text in Arabic.
