Worship attendees demand national dialogue to recognise youth revolution

Participants in a workshop on "preparations for the national dialogue conference" which was organised by the council of the revolutionary youth called on the president, the government and the parties participating in the dialogue conference to recognise the youth revolution and adopt its demands.

They called on the president to issue a republican decree to proclaim 11 February as a national day.
The recommendations of the workshop announced in the presence of human rights minister Horiyah Mashhour urged to add the word of revolution to the word of youth at all local and international events and to include the youth revolution in school curricula.
The participants in the workshop called for establishing an independent body to take care of, compensate and include in the dialogue process the families of the martyrs, and those who were wounded and maimed during the revolution. Moreover, they called for exposing and trying those who were involved in killing, abducting and torturing youth revolutionaries and firing head of the supreme judicial council.
The workshop's recommendations included demands relevant to the goals of the youth revolution including firing every civilian and military official who had blood of youth on their hands, immediate release all revolution detainees, and forming a committee from former detainees, human rights activists and judges and a military committee to visit prisons.
Moreover, they called for restructuring the armed and security forces on national bases and imposing the rule of law across the republic to guarantee the success of the national dialogue conference, addressing all rights issues, committing factions which will participate in the dialogue conference to make their programs public and to give up violence and weapons.
They urged to engage all youth groups in the dialogue, act responsibly with local and foreign forces undermining the dialogue process and fire relatives of former president who are holding senior military, non-military and security leaders and replace.
They stressed the importance of judicial independence and integrity, activating control and accountability authorities, switching the human rights into an independent body, restructuring the information authorities, offering free education and healthcare services, and supporting agriculture and industries and terminating deals harming the interests of the nation.
At the workshop, human rights minister Mashhour said: "The demands within the recommendations of the workshop will result in establishing an independent human rights body at least and that what the ministry has proposed to the council of the ministers". "The council of the ministers has agreed to proposal but that will take between six months to a year until that happens," she said, adding that the body will include representatives from the squares' youth, human rights activists, lawmen and women.
