Let us hope that Mubarak is more serious about electoral reform. As a measure of sincerity, he needs to order the immediate release of Ayman Nour and take steps to terminate the 24-year-long state of emergency, which effectively prevents political campaigning from taking place.
让我们期盼穆巴拉克能够更加认真的对待这次选举改革。作为衡量他真诚度的标尺，他首先必须立即释放Ayman Nour，采取措施结束国家长达24年的“紧急状态”，正是这一“紧急状态”有效阻止了政治性竞选活动的发生。
