Protesters Tell Mubarak to Retire
- Share via
About 1,000 people gathered in Cairo, many with their mouths covered by yellow stickers reading “Enough,” to protest the possibility that President Hosni Mubarak might run for a fifth term or that his son, Gamal, might succeed him.
Hundreds of security police surrounded the offices of Kamal Khalil, a veteran activist who spoke out against the Mubaraks at the protest. The police stayed four hours but did not make any arrests.
Hosni Mubarak, 76, has been president since 1981, when he replaced the assassinated Anwar Sadat.
His current six-year term ends in October, and he has not said whether he would run again.
