To Mohamed Morsi, President of Egypt:

We demand that you put an end to the tragic string of deaths and torture that is taking place at the hands of the Egyptian police. The government must immediately set up a civilian oversight body, with powers to hold abusers accountable, as the first step toward reforming the brutal Egyptian police. Ending the reckless impunity of the police force is the only way to stabilise the Egyptian street and ensure a more peaceful democratic process for all Egyptians.

Why Mohamed El Gendy died - stop police brutality
Peaceful Egyptian activist Mohamed El Gendy died on Monday, viciously tortured to death after being held by the police for a week. He was snatched from a protest in Tahrir Square healthy, vibrant and alive. Savage killings like this will happen again and again unless we citizens stop it.

Mubarak’s murderous police are still here, and President Morsi’s promised reform hasn’t materialised. But with police caught red-handed brutalizing peaceful protesters in the streets, Morsi - who knows what happens when Egyptians rise up - is desperately looking for a solution. A cabinet minister has already resigned in protest. This is our best opportunity to increase the public pressure on Morsi and push him to take further action to stop police violence.

We don't have much time left. As Morsi looks for a way to calm the angry street -- let’s send him a deafening message urging him to create a civilian oversight body to address police brutality, hold them accountable and refer cases for prosecution. Sign the petition -- when we reach 150,000 we’ll deliver the petition directly to the presidential palace.
