Judge Injured by NDP Thugs in Mazghouna


By: Alaa Ibrahim and Saad Al-Gizawy


At the polling station in Mazghouna constituency, a number of thugs supporting the NDP candidate, Essam Abu Al-Magd, have attacked both the judges and voters, causing insignificant injuries to one judge and a number of the citizens.
The judges and electors were surprised by aggressive actions from approximately 15 persons throwing them with stones and empty soda bottles as well as shooting fire in the air to horrify the voters.
The assault resulted in bleeding the head of judge Mouneer Khattab, who made a phone call with the Minister of Interior to detain those perpetrators.     
The police officers reacted negatively to the incident, as they did not intervene at first. Asked by the human rights monitors to take an action against this chaos, an officer said: “it is the duty of the citizens to stop them.” Other police members drove away the human rights monitors.
This brought the voting process to a halt of about an hour. Although the polling station was reopened, the voters were so frightened and terrified.
