16. 16. US funded military coup Despite the fact that American president Barack Obama has said the US did not take sides during the recent coup against the elected president in Egypt, US federal government documents proves that the White House funded many prominent Egyptian activist who have worked outspokenly to undermine the democratic experience. The documents, Aljazeera said, were obtained by the Investigative Reporting Program at UC Berkeley. They show that the US channelled funding through a State Department programme to Egyptian activists and the institutions they run. However, the US knows that its funds go to anti-democracy activities. The programme is known by US officials as a "democracy assistance" initiative.

19. 19. Role of Arab Rulers Kuwait pledged $4 billion in cash, loans and fuel, with Saudi Arabia offering a total of $5 billion and the UAE $3 billion. The DEBKA piece claims that Saudi Arabia and the UAE offered money to the military, rather than to protesters (as the US is accused of doing), and that they offered to make up the shortfall if the US cut military aid these states have a long-standing relationship with the Egyptian military, and are not displeased that Morsi has fallen. It is arguable that they see some political gain - or at least, the elimination of a threat in the removal of the Muslim Brotherhood government.

The defence said he was due to give additional evidence in their favour on 5 November 2012. That day Bali was stopped before entering the courthouse by several police officers; witnesses said he was taken away in a white police van, and his family has not heard from him since. HRW criticised the Bangladeshi government for not working to find him and for its lack of adequate response to allegations criticising the tribunal. The attorney general rejected the abduction claim as a fabrication by the defence to bring the tribunal into disrepute.[59] In May 2013, Bali was found in an Indian prison, and he alleged state abduction and that officials told him that both he and Sayeedi would be killed.[95] In March 2013, the Economist made criticisms of the tribunal, mentioning government interference, restrictions on public discussion, not enough time allocated for the defense, the kidnapping of a defense witness and the judge resigning due to controversy over his
