Egypt's Parliament sworn in amid protests CAIRO, Jan. 23 (UPI) -- Artists, trade unions and families of protesters killed in the 2011 Egyptian revolt marched in Cairo Monday to protest the swearing in of members of Parliament. Demonstrators outside the Parliament building chanted the revolution's motto, "Bread, freedom and social justice," and security forces tried to prevent them from approaching to present demands to the newly elected members, Ahram Online reported. Egypt's new 508 members of the People's Assembly, the lower house of Parliament, were sworn in and outlined their goals and beliefs as they took the oath of office. Ahram Online said applause followed new lawmaker Ziad el-Eleimi's pledge to ensure realization of revolutionary demands before taking his oath of office. Labor lawyer and activist Haitham Mohamedein called on Parliament to adjust minimum and maximum wages, provide permanent contracts for temporary contract workers and end several laws that penalize sit-ins and demonstrations. The mother of Mohamed Mostafa, a protester killed in last year's demonstrations that led to the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak, told Ahram Online demonstrators wanted to give their list of demands to the new Parliament and ask that it speed up the trials of those responsible for the deaths of protesters. Witnesses said hundreds of people also gathered in front of the High Court in Cairo to protest trials of civilians in military courts. In parliamentary chambers, several lawmakers wore yellow sashes with the slogan "No to military trials." Elections for the People's Assembly began in late November and were conducted in three stages. The lower chamber will work with the Shura Council, the upper chamber, to appoint a panel that will draft Egypt's new constitution.
