Article summary: 

Political activists and experts rejected calls by the Social Liberal Party in a paid advertisement in a state-owned newspaper on the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) to announce martial laws.

Article full text: 

Lawyer 'Ismat al-Mirghanī, the leader and founder of the SLP, who has launched the call, was accused by several politicians as one of the fulūl (remnants) of the former regime.

Abū al-'Iz al-Harīrī, a leading member of the Egyptian Socialist Popular Alliance Party, said that tackling the current crisis in Egypt by means of announcing martial law would be a wrong decision.

He said that some Muslims who ignore the majority of the Muslim population in Egypt, raise religious slogans and get the nation involved in sectarian troubles.

Mirghanī had had a paid advertisement published on page 9 of al-Ahrām newspaper dated October 14, 2011 in which she said that her SLP is appealing to SCAF to enforce martial law in the country "in order to avoid another Iraq or Sudan and maintain stability of the nation".
