President Mohamed Morsi will address the nation later on Wednesday to speak of his administration’s achievements over the past year since he was sworn into office.

The speech comes in light of mass demonstrations planned for the end of the month by the Islamist president’s opponents.
An anti-regime campaign known as “Tamarod” (Rebel) has been collecting petitions to push for a no-confidence vote against Mursi and call for early presidential elections.
The campaign has set June 30 to hold mass demonstrations across the country to mark the first anniversary of Mohamed Morsi’s presidency.
The president’s office said late on Tuesday that Mohamed Morsi will not call for a referendum on early elections in today’s speech.
Mohamed Morsi Opponents
“Rebel” Campaign founders announced the formation of the “June 30 Front” which presents a political vision for the post-June 30 period.
Several parties and powers have called for nation-wide demonstrations on June 30 to demand ousting Islamist President Mohamed Morsi.
The newly-founded front called on Mohamed Morsi to hand power over to a prime minister who is a prominent national figure representing the revolution on condition that this figure refrains from contesting the first upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections, a front statement said on Wednesday.
The Supreme Constitutional Court’s head will temporarily perform the president’s tasks after all executive powers are transferred to the prime minister, the statement added.
The front called on the next government’s head to put an urgent economic salvation plan that guarantees the economy’s recovery.
“The transitional phase ends within a period that does not exceed six months by holding presidential elections under full judicial supervision and international monitoring. Parliamentary elections will follow,” the statement added.
Mohammed Morsi human rights
A human rights center report said that 217 people were killed and 359 were tortured in police stations, prisons, security camps and at the presidential palace in Cairo since Mohamed Mursi became president of Egypt in June 30, 2012 and until May 31, 2013.
The causes of death varied between gunshots in clashes or at police check points and cases where there was suspected torture and mistreatment at several police stations, El Nadeem Center report said.
El Nadeem Center for Rehabilitation of Victims of Violence is an independent Egyptian non-governmental organization that provides psychological management and rehabilitation to victims of torture.
“Systematic torture is continuing and Morsi’s regime governs with the same policies as SCAF and as Mubarak’s regime before him,” the report said.
The report, entitled “Torture in Egypt during a Year of Muslim Brotherhood Rule”, is based on material published in the press, social networking sites, and accounts from El Nadeem Center, by victims of the elected president’s regime.
The center said this brief report deals only with the torture, murder and suspected murder and deaths behind bars during the first year of Morsi’s rule.
