El Atabani and Deputy-Chairman Hassan Rizig were supposed to address the forum.
The movement, established in December 2013 by prominent dissidents of the ruling National Congress Party, last month announced its campaign against the forthcoming general election.
The RNM called the police’s refusal “a violation of the 2005 Interim Constitution and the law”.
