BEIRUT, Lebanon, June 9 (UPI) -- Egypt's opposition Kifaya group has threatened to take prominent members of the ruling party to the international criminal court, it was reported Thursday.
Lebanon's al-Mustaqbal daily quoted Kifaya (Enough) spokesman and journalist Abdul Halim Qandeel as saying he would seek an international trial of prominent members of the Egyptian National Democratic Party if the local judicial authorities did not take serious measures against them for assaulting demonstrators last month.
Qandeel told the paper he testified Wednesday to the general prosecution on how he and dozens of other protesters were physically assaulted during last month's referendum to amend the constitution.
He said he presented "damning evidence" against three prominent members of the ruling party and plain-cloths security officers for "mobilizing hundreds of outlaws and policemen to beat up the demonstrators and tear off the clothes of the women protesters."
