ATTACKS ON EGYPTIAN CHURCHES AND PUBLIC FACILITIES UNACCEPTABLE -- UN CHIEF
New York, Aug 17 2013 8:00PM
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today strongly condemned the attacks on
churches, hospitals and public facilities in Egypt, stressing this is
unacceptable, and appealed to authorities to contain violence and
revive the political process immediately.

"The Secretary-General believes that preventing further loss of life
should be the Egyptians' highest priority at this dangerous moment,"
Mr. Ban's spokesperson said in a
<"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/?nid=7024">statement. "He urges
those in the street and those in authority to use maximum restraint
and shift immediately to de-escalation."

According to media reports, Egyptian security forces clashed with
supporters of former President Mohamed Morsy in a central Cairo
mosque, where scores of Muslim Brotherhood protesters had sought
refuge from the violence that has resulted in more than 500 deaths and
thousands of injuries over the past four days.

"The Secretary-General is alarmed by ongoing developments in Egypt and
the widespread outbreak of violent protests and excessive use of force
in handling them," the statement said.

Mr. Ban underlined that time is of the essence and called on all
Egyptians to resolve their differences peacefully in the interest of
moving forward.

"With such sharp polarization in Egyptian society, both the
authorities and the political leaders share the responsibility for
ending the current violence," the statement read.

Mr. Ban also appealed to authorities and political leaders to "adopt a
credible plan to contain the violence and revive the political process
hijacked by violence."

Egypt has been undergoing a democratic transition following the
toppling of President Hosni Mubarak two years ago in the wake of mass
protests. Last month, renewed protests -- in which dozens of people
were killed and wounded -- led to the Egyptian military deposing Mr.
Morsy. The Constitution was then suspended and an interim government
set up.
