General Adly Fayed, former deputy interior minister, said in his statement that many satellite channels sought to incite the protesters against the police.

He said that Al Jazeera, Al-Arabiya and Al-Hurra, along with other satellite channels, broadcasted videos that showed police beating the protesters.

Adly spoke of a “conspiracy” against Egypt, blaming foreigners for the killing of protesters in the uprising that unseated the Egyptian president.

“I reaffirm before you that there were foreign saboteurs who desecrated Egypt's pure land and were supported by internal criminal elements with the aim of undermining Egypt's international and regional standing and attempting to destabilize its political, security and economic stability,” he said.

He blamed Lebanese Shia group Hezbollah and Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas for sending infiltrators to Egypt, and said the plot against Egypt was continuing to this day.

Adly said the plot involved “killing peaceful protesters, storming prisons to free terrorists and criminals, vandalizing public and private properties and burning police officers inside their vehicles.”

Spannungen mit den USA

Mit der Razzia gegen 17 NGOs Ende Dezember hat die ägyptische Übergangsregierung für internationale Empörung gesorgt. Dass nun gegen 43 beschuldigte Mitarbeiter der NGOs und politischen Stiftungen am Sonntag der Prozess beginnen soll, trägt nicht zur Entspannung insbesondere mit den USA als wichtigen Geldgeber Ägyptens bei. Die USA fordern demokratische Fortschritte für die Finanzhilfe. Die Zivilgesellschaft in Ägypten kämpft aber mit zunehmenden Schwierigkeiten und wirft dem neuen Regime „Methoden wie Mubarak“ vor.

The prosecution has called for Mubarak to be executed for his crimes, but current Egypt law says that Mubarak, 83, is too old to be put to death.

Farid al-Deeb, the lead lawyer for the 83-year-old former leader, has praised Mubarak throughout, and told the court they could not convict the man activists and families of those killed in January and February last year say is responsible for their deaths.

“It is like saying the commander of a military doesn’t hold responsibility when his soldiers kill people,” said Ahmed, a brother of one of those killed in the uprising. He told Bikyamasr.com that “for the lawyers to say there is no evidence is to say he wasn’t in control of the country. If that is the case, then who was running things?”

The committee assigned by the attorney general to assess Mubarak’s condition recommended that he stay at the same place, “as he could be in danger of a stroke or a heart attack” if he is to be moved.
