Supporters of Mohamed ElBaradei for president launched another round of their campaign in Alexandria on Tuesday. They are collecting signatures for the campaign’s petition, entitled “Change.”
“We have received an 85 percent positive response so far,” said campaign member Mohamed Samir.
Meanwhile, campaigners in Daqahlia claimed they were attacked in a mall while collecting signatures. “The mall security attacked us, tied us up, and kept us in their office,” said campaign member Ahmed el-Barmawy. “Then they beat us and kicked us out.”
Mall security, however, said they asked the campaigners to leave because they were bothering female shoppers, and denied that they attacked them. The police later asked them not to clash with the campaigners, identifying them as ElBaradei supporters.
