Egypt Slips Down Democracy Ladder
(Financial Times-UK) William Wallis - Egyptian police attempting to block further gains by the opposition Muslim Brotherhood confiscated ladders from would-be voters. In a previous round of polling, resourceful opposition voters outside Alexandria used ladders to climb into the back of polling stations where riot police were blocking off their access at the front. The Egyptian Organization for Human Rights reported that 355 polling stations were closed by security forces in final round run-offs Wednesday.
