Egyptian authorities should cease the harassment and persecution of prominent human rights defender and journalist, Hossam Bahgat, who faces abusive charges intended to punish him solely for exercising his right to freedom of expression and his human rights activism, 46 human rights organizations said today.
The Egyptian authorities should quash the convictions of Zyad el-Elaimy, Hossam Moanis, Hisham Fouad and others in Case 957/2021, and ensure their immediate and unconditional release, said the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) today.
While Egypt’s decision to end “the state of emergency” is a positive development, the authorities must take additional steps to remedy the dire human rights situation, the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) said today.
The ICJ today expressed its concern at the arbitrary detention of several human rights defenders in Egypt, India and Turkey during the interactive dialogue with the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention before the UN Human Rights Council.
Today, on the occasion of the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, we the 33 undersigned local, regional, and international organizations, associations, and networks come together to highlight the dramatic and persistent nature of enforced disappearances in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and the accompanying impunity enjoyed by perpetrators of these crimes throughout the region.
