ElBaradei calls for investigating all former high-level officials

Reform advocate Mohamed ElBaradei, in a statement on Thursday, called for investigating the all of the former regime’s leading officials. “Corruption was not limited to the mid-level leadership of that regime,” he said.

“Slow justice is no justice,” he said. “We need to find those who killed our youth in the revolution.”

ElBaradei also called on chief editors of state-owned newspapers to resign for misleading the public. “They should leave if they had any dignity,” he said.

He also said that parliamentary and presidential elections, if held under the Egypt's current Constitution, would be undemocratic. “There is no rush for elections,” he said. “First, we need to make a new constitution for a modern Egypt.”

He also called for allowing Egyptians living abroad to participate in all elections.
