[IRP] Punchy Principles launch plan - all invited to join in!

[Meryem Marzouki]

After having read the press release, I have to say that it should have been discussed among the coalition who, after all, is the initiator of the process and the author of all its outcome. In particular, a prominent role is given to the Arabic Networks for Human Rights Information, which is not - to my knowledge - a member of this coalition. The same applies to the OSCE, if I'm not wrong.
The quote from the Arabic Networks for Human Rights Information makes prominent the Egypt revolution, and makes everything start in the Arab world with the jan25 movement, which is not true.
I'm wondering why this organization specifically has been chosen and who chose it.
I hope to see our coalition remaining independent from any interest, and truly international.
