For his part, the lawyer at the Egyptian Court of Cassation, Ayman Mahfouz, said in a statement to “Sky News Arabia” that Egyptian law stipulates the use of coercive force in the execution of enforceable sentences and the arrest of those who obstruct or assault the forces of order, and they are tried and liable to imprisonment and a fine for the offense of intentional obstruction or refusal to carry out court decisions.
Mahfouz added that Mortada Mansour’s dismissal decree was issued by the administrative justice, which “has authority as soon as it is pronounced, which means that the decree can be executed in its draft and without notification, because the judgments of the Council of State are enforceable as soon as they are issued.”
He pointed out that “the use of force by men of execution is a legal matter, and therefore execution is by coercive force in case of willful abstention from execution”.
What will the Ministry of Sports do?
For his part, the official spokesperson for the Egyptian Ministry of Sports, Mohamed Shazly, said in a statement to “Sky News Arabia” that:. The legal procedures followed by the Ministry to execute the judgment are based on the wording of the judgment itself. The decision states that the Ministry of Sports obliges the board of Zamalek Club to implement the court ruling, considering the position of chairman of the board vacant and appointing someone who will carry out his work until the next assembly. general to that there is an election clause for this position. The ministry has already sent 3 official letters to the board of Zamalek Club, asking them to implement the decision, which is in line with the correct decision as it did not stipulate, for example, that the board be dissolved if it was not implemented, but instead stated that the board was bound to implement it. The obligation is made through official letters in the form of the decision and its executive form, and that he likes to implement, otherwise the council will be held responsible for not implementing a judicial decision. The last letter sent by the ministry to the board of the Zamalek Club was last Friday, in which it stressed that the decision should be implemented and that any meeting Mortada Mansour attended was considered legally invalid. If the board does not respond, there will be escalation steps that will be determined based on their response. Despite everything, the decision will be implemented, and before the end of this month, there will be an interim president of the Zamalek club in place of Mortada Mansour, and these are inevitable and inevitable questions because no one is above the law. Here, the coercive force is not to resort to the police because the situation in front of us is complex. For example, it is not possible to use the police to prevent Murtada from entering the club because he is a member, nor to attack him because he does not deal with the implementation but rather from the board of directors. The coercive force here is the legal measures that compel the board to implement them, which will eventually happen. It should be noted that the board of directors of the Zamalek club, after receiving the recent letter from the Ministry of Sports, issued an official statement on Sunday describing Mortada Mansour as president of the club, and announced that a press conference will take place would be held next Thursday. , followed by a meeting of the Board of Directors.
Why was Murtaza isolated?
On April 16, the Administrative Court of the Egyptian Council of State decided, in a number of 4 cases filed by members of the general assembly of the Zamalek Club, to oblige the Minister of Sports, in his capacity, to render a decision to withdraw Mansour from the presidency of Zamalek, and to exclude him from the club’s board of directors. The lawsuits were based on the need to implement the Guiding Regulations for Clubs emanating from the Sports Act, which stipulate the termination of the membership of any member of the club’s board against whom a final judgment is entered. with a sentence restricting liberty. On February 25, the Court of Cassation upheld Mansour’s one-month prison sentence, with application, for convicting him of insulting and slandering Al-Ahly club president Mahmoud Al-Khatib.
