A number of political parties and political movements have announced that they will be organizing a silent candlelit vigil in front of the Maspero building tonight, October 9. They requested in a statement issued yesterday that participants dress in black, hold candles, and raise the pictures of the martyrs that died at Maspero. They stated that their demands include transitional justice, guaranteeing the freedom of belief, criminalizing discrimination, and incitement and issuing a unified worship-house construction law as well bringing the perpetrators of the massacre to justice (Ahmad ‘Allām, al-Masry al-Yawm, Oct. 9).
