NGOs want new Egypt parliament dissolved

Sapa-dpa | 06 December, 2010 14:560 Comments

Three Egyptian non-governmental organisations on Monday called on President Hosny Mubarak to dissolve the newly- elected parliament because of alleged election fraud.

The Independent Coalition for Elections' Observation released video footage of what it said was bribery, ballot cards being forged and violence at different polling stations across the country.

The coalition said the violations were due to the absence of judicial supervision during the elections.

One of the videos, taken by members of the NGOs, purports to show a 12-year-old boy casting a ballot, while another shows a five-year- old who was allegedly shot in his feet near a polling station in southern Egypt.Author: Nehal El-Sherif
