Egyptian Canadians for Democracy Statement Regarding Recent Events in Egypt

Toronto, ON (February 6th, 2012)-We strongly condemn the Supreme Council of Armed Forces’ management of the Egyptian government.

The people’s demands were not met, the regime has not yet fallen, and the revolution is not yet over.
