Top European leaders tell Mubarak to end crackdown
Europe's three most powerful leaders on Saturday jointly urged Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak to end a crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrations and fully implement all promised reforms.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister David Cameron wrote in a joint statement that they are concerned about the events unraveling in Egypt. "We call on President Mubarak to avoid at all costs the use of violence against unarmed civilians," and for demonstrators to exercise their rights peacefully, the heads of state said. (AP)
