Cairo, Nov 24: Egypt’s military rulers today apologised for deaths of protesters demanding civilian control and vowed to punish the culprits, amid a temporary ceasefire following fierce street battles that claimed at least 39 lives and left over 3,000 people injured in six days of unrest.
“The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) presents its regrets and deep apologies for the deaths of martyrs from among Egypt’s loyal sons during the recent events in Tahrir Square,” the military rulers said in a statement on their Facebook page.
“The Council also offers its condolences to the families of the martyrs across Egypt.”
SCAF also promised a swift investigation into the violence that killed 39 people and left more than 3,000 wounded in six days and prosecution of those responsible.
