Prime Minister likely to appear in Tahrir today

HERE. Not a bad move by Sharaf, especially since he’s a Tahrir protestor himself and will probably get a positive hearing.

Despite the replacement of the Prime Minister yesterday, some demands still remain. Here are the three I saw as of yesterday:

*freedom for all remaining political prisoners

*a criminal trial for those responsible for the February 2 “Battle of the Camel,” as some are now calling the thug invasion of Tahrir; I’ve heard rumors as to who is responsible, but won’t repeat the rumors here unless there is an official accusation in the press [ADDENDUM: I should have added that BATTLE OF THE CAMEL is a somewhat edgy reference to a much more famous battle in Islamic history in 656 A.D.; thanks to Cameron for the reminder]

*Presidential elections must be held before Parliamentary elections. This one made me scratch my head a bit at first. But I think the idea is that everyone wants a real elected leader soon, but they also want time to organize new political parties before the Parliamentary elections (parties being less important at the Presidential level, where they simply want to choose some respected figure to lead the country).
