The demonstration's statement also accused the Brotherhood's authority of (immunizing crime bosses with a security, military and political cover, impunity for criminals and perpetrators and enabling them to occupy key positions in the army and security).

The statement considered, "The heinous crime against the burning family and their abuse, and the continuation of the perpetrators outside the control agencies, is nothing but a continuation of a policy and approach that gives killers and criminals a cover of protection and immunity, and that the most prominent perpetrators of chaos, violators of human rights, undermining the performance of state institutions and looting its resources are individuals and leaders affiliated with the army institution and since  For years, no serious measures have been taken against them.
