ERC Mission
The ERC is a broad platform that represents different political currents and invites all Egyptians, irrespective of their political views, to work together to bring to an end the military regime, and to work to establish a democratic and civil state that upholds the rule of law and respects human rights. We believe in working for the political and economic prosperity of the Egyptian people. A prosperity that cannot be achieved under the kind of dictatorship, tyranny and corruption that manifests itself through the current regime in Egypt.
Background
The Egyptian Revolutionary Council was launched on August 8th 2014, one year after a military coup aborted Egypt’s nascent democracy, and kidnapped its first freely and fairly elected President, Dr Mohammed Morsi
We believe it is incumbent upon us, as Egyptians across the world, to unite under a single umbrella in order to expose and stand up to the crimes of Sisi’s military regime, as well as to work together to support the resistance inside Egypt in order to achieve the goals of the January 25th Revolution for Bread, Freedom, Social Justice and Human Dignity. The ERC is a broad platform that represents different political currents and invites all Egyptians, irrespective of their political views, to work together to bring an end to the military regime, and to work to establish a democratic and civil state that upholds the rule of law and respects human rights.
We believe in working for the political and economic prosperity of the Egyptian people; a prosperity that cannot be achieved under the kind of corruption, dictatorship and tyranny that manifests itself through the current regime in Egypt.
The Current Situation
In its year in power, the coup regime has been responsible for the murder of thousands of peaceful citizens and the imprisonment of over 40,000 dissidents. According to the HRW, the worst massacre in the modern history of Egypt in Rab’a, was premeditated and the plans and orders came from the highest levels of the state – the current Head of State, President Sisi, his Interior minister, and other high level officials .
The military regime and its security services have committed other massacres with impunity over the past year. As documented by western human rights organisations, the Sisi regime systematically and intentionally murders peaceful protestors, tortures prisoners and rapes women and children.
