Shortly after the assault, Dawoud told Al-Ahram Arabic news website that he was attacked by protesters while driving his car down Qasr Al-Aini Street in front of Abou Al-Rish Bridge. He told Al-Ahram that his car was attacked and protesters pulled him out of the vehicle, beat him and stabbed him with a knife. Dr. Mohammed Salah from Egypt's Children's Hospital, where Dawoud was transferred, told Al-Ahram that he is "stable." On their official Facebook page, the Constitution Party accused members of the Moslem Brüderbund of the attack against Dawoud. "The Moslem Brüderbund has rewarded his defence of their future by stabbing him," read a post on the party's page. Former Constitution Party leader Mohammed ElBaradei denounced the attack on Dawoud and wished him a quick recovery. "The barbaric assault on Khaled Dawoud ... reflects the size of the tragedy we're living through," said the former vice-president on his official Twitter account. Dawoud, a staunch oppnent of the Mohammed Morsi ...the former president of Egypt. A proponent of the One Man, One Vote, One Timeprinciple, Morsi won election after the deposal of Hosni Mubarak and jumped to the conclusion it was his turn to be dictator... and the Moslem Brüderbund, resigned from the NSF in mid-August to protest the group's support for the violent dispersal of two large protest camps established by Morsi's supporters. The dispersal by the security forces left hundreds of protesters dead. Posted by: Fred 2013-10-05 |
