The document summarizes the 2016 human rights report on Egypt. It notes that while elections were administered professionally according to the country's laws, freedoms of expression, assembly, and association were constrained. The main human rights issues were excessive use of force by security forces, due process deficiencies, and suppression of civil liberties including restrictions on media and protests. Impunity for security forces was also a problem. Terrorist attacks caused unlawful killings while the military's operations in Sinai led to civilian casualties and property destruction. Forced disappearances increased with hundreds detained without charge.

This document provides information about Algeria, including its government system and human rights issues. It discusses that Algeria is a multi-party republic led by a president elected for five-year terms, with President Abdelaziz Bouteflika having been in office since 1999. Key human rights problems include restrictions on freedom of assembly and association, lack of judicial independence, overuse of pretrial detention, and abuse by security forces including torture. Terrorist groups also remain active in the country carrying out attacks.
This document summarizes the human rights situation in Colombia based on a United Nations report from July 2008. It finds that serious and systematic human rights violations by state forces and paramilitary groups continue, including extrajudicial killings, torture, arbitrary detentions and forced displacement. The government denies the existence of an internal armed conflict despite the facts on the ground. It pursues a "democratic security" policy that prioritizes military force over human rights and fails to dismantle paramilitary groups or their links to state forces. Peace negotiations with guerrilla groups are also blocked in favor of a military solution.
The Committee to Protect Journalists found that the number of journalists imprisoned worldwide reached a record high of 232 in 2012, surpassing the previous record of 185 in 1996. Turkey, Iran, and China were the three worst jailers, largely imprisoning journalists on vague anti-state charges related to terrorism or dissent. Overall, governments are increasingly using anti-state laws to silence critical voices in the media.
The document summarizes human rights issues in Egypt, including restrictive defamation laws. Defamation remains a criminal offense that authorities use to limit freedom of expression. Journalists face imprisonment for insults to government officials or spreading "false news." Extremism laws have led to mass arrests without evidence. While the constitution protects civil liberties, authorities have detained thousands for peacefully exercising freedom of speech, assembly, and association. Violence against women in protests is also a concern. International groups have found Egypt's laws contradictory to obligations on civil and political rights.
Argentina is a federal constitutional republic led by President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. The document summarizes key human rights issues in Argentina, including occasional police use of excessive force resulting in deaths, actions that may impair press freedom, and infringements on indigenous peoples' rights. It also notes poor prison conditions, arbitrary arrest and detention, prolonged pretrial detention, concerns about judicial efficiency and independence, official corruption, and other issues. While authorities prosecuted some officials for abuses, others acted with impunity.

The document summarizes the 2020 Human Rights Report for Haiti. It describes the country's political system and elections. It notes political gridlock led the president to rule by decree as of January 2020 as parliamentary elections did not occur. The report discusses security forces and significant human rights issues including unlawful killings by gangs allegedly supported by officials, excessive police force, harsh prison conditions, arbitrary detention, corruption in the judiciary, attacks on journalists, corruption and impunity, and child labor. It provides details on reported killings, prison overcrowding, and allegations of torture by police.
Ukraine's 2017 Human Rights Report discusses several issues, including:
1) Unlawful killings and disappearances related to the conflict in eastern Ukraine between government and Russian-led forces.
2) Torture by police and prison authorities, and reports of torture by both government and Russian-led forces in eastern Ukraine.
3) Harsh and life-threatening prison conditions, including overcrowding, lack of medical care, and physical abuse by guards.
Ukraine held free and fair elections in 2014 but faced significant human rights issues, including unlawful killings and disappearances related to the conflict in eastern Ukraine against Russian-led forces. The government generally failed to prosecute officials accused of human rights abuses, resulting in impunity. Prisons and detention centers had harsh conditions and reports of torture, and investigations into abuses by Russia in Crimea and eastern Ukraine were incomplete due to lack of control in those areas.

Muslims, allowing hardline Buddhist nationalist groups to grow in power and influence ahead of the November
general elections. The situation of the persecuted Rohingya deteriorated still further. The government

The document discusses violence against journalists, including targeted killings in revenge for critical reporting. It notes that such violence goes beyond censorship of a single issue by intimidating colleagues and families as well. This can impede journalists' important role in exposing issues like human rights abuses. Statistics from reports by UNESCO, IMEMC, Reporters Without Borders, and others show that over 120 journalists were killed between 2008-2009, with many targeted while investigating corruption or illegal activities. While conflict areas remain dangerous, the percentage of killings outside of war zones has increased. The document concludes that targeted violence against reporters amounts to a "peacetime war on journalism."
Tunisia Elects President in Successful and Transparent Electoral ProcessJamaity
Ā
Early Carter Center observer reports indicate that Tunisia has successfully completed its first democratic election cycle under the new constitution with Dec. 21's final round of the presidential election. The country's transition from an authoritarian regime, ousted in a largely peaceful revolution on Jan. 14, 2011, to transparent elections and permanent democratic institutions represents the brightest hope in the region for a successful and peaceful transition following the Arab revolutions. Once the electoral process is finalized, Tunisia's leaders should work to consolidate the country's achievements and fulfill the promise of the revolution by enshrining the tenets of its new constitution in domestic legislation and tackling pressing economic and social concerns.
Executive Summary
2799 killed in two years
Killings by the Egyptian authorities varied, as it evolved from civil killings during protests and marches to armed scattering of peaceful sit-ins in which the army was involved.
Systematic killings were evolved then into other forms of which we mention torture and killings inside prisons using deprivation and torture beyond what human beings can stand.
Again recently it evolved into direct assassination and liquidation of individuals.
The study has included three periods of time according to the associated incidents; as the first period, which falls between June, 30, 2013 and August, 13, 2013, has witnessed 316 murders, followed by the period between August, 14 and August, 16, 2013 which has witnessed 2007 murders and last but not least the period between August, 17, 2013 and August, 12, 2015 where a total 476 murders were committed by the current regime. That's all what the Coordination has manages to document according to supplied information and the documentation of the big events only.

Zyad Elelaimy, a human rights lawyer and former parliamentarian in Egypt, was sentenced to one year in prison and fined for "insulting the president" in a 2017 BBC interview. The organizations argue the sentence is politically motivated retaliation for his advocacy of free expression and democracy in Egypt. Zyad has been detained since 2019 on separate charges related to forming a secular political coalition. The organizations condemn Zyad's detention and demand his unconditional release, as his case is part of Egypt's campaign against political opponents through enforced disappearance, torture, and fabrication of charges to prolong detention.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Egypt now is sitting between two facts, an excruciating reality and a hopeful future, after the incidents of the 30th of June, 2013, where rights and freedoms were blasted and humanity became the least appreciated value on the land of Egypt. For the sake of what happened then it is necessary for us to shed some light on some of the violations that are practiced by some individuals of the police and military forces upon the prisoners and the Egyptian citizens apprehended at different locations during the period of time from 1/1/2015 till 30/6/2015.
The Egyptian Coordination of Rights and Freedoms has allocated the governorates that have been under the influence of systematized torture as follows;
54 cases in Dakahlia & 45cases in Aswan & 41 cases in Sharqia & 35 cases in Cairo & 45 cases in Giza & 25 cases in Alexandria & 19 cases in Damietta & 17 cases in Port Saiid & 14 cases in Qalubia & 10 cases in Garbia & 10 cases in Fayyoum & 10 cases in Minya & 7 cases in Beheira & 4 cases in Qena & 3 cases in Assuit & 2 cases in Beni Suweif & 2 cases in Suez and 18 cases have been located in other governorates.
What has been concluded from that allocation is realizing the fact that the atrocious crime of torture is being practiced not only against specific individuals or professions, but also against a wholesome of apprehended individuals, such as the individuals enlisted in the professions stated below;

According to what have been referred to earlier, we can state that the crime being committed by the Egyptian safety authorities against the wide range sectors of Egyptian population, with its different forms, isn't confined to a specific population or category. This tracks of this crime have afflicted everyone without any minimal distinction at any case, to the extent that you'd find some unbelievable atrocities such as assaulting apprehended young females and underage children at the locations of their apprehension.
The delegation observed serious human rights issues in Egypt after the 2013 military coup including widespread arbitrary detentions, mistreatment of prisoners, and restrictions on freedoms of expression, assembly, and association. They met with government officials who acknowledged human rights are in peril due to social and violent conflict. Civil society actors attributed problems to the coup overthrowing the elected government in violation of political rights protected by international law. Particularly disturbing were widespread abuses against women and juveniles, including sexual abuse and interference with peaceful protest.
The document summarizes the 2015 human rights report for Equatorial Guinea. It describes numerous human rights violations throughout the country, including arbitrary arrest and detention, unlawful detention of children, and repression of fundamental freedoms. It provides details on lack of due process, suppression of freedom of expression and assembly, violations of children's rights, and restrictions on freedom of movement. Political opponents faced harassment, arrest, and banishment, while security forces committed abuses against civilians with impunity.
- Protests against Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's regime began on January 25, 2011 due to issues of police brutality, corruption, lack of political freedom, and poor economic opportunities.
- Demonstrations grew significantly and spread to other cities as protesters called for Mubarak's resignation and a new government that respects civil liberties and serves the Egyptian people.
- Mubarak's 30-year rule had seen a continuous state of emergency, suppression of political dissent, and torture by security forces, fueling public anger despite Western support for his regime.
Executive Summary

The Kyrgyz Republic held parliamentary elections in October 2020 that were marred by accusations of corruption. This led to protests, the resignation of President Jeenbekov, and the interim appointment of Sadyr Japarov as acting president. A new presidential election was then scheduled for January 2021. The report documents several human rights issues in the country including torture by law enforcement, poor prison conditions, restrictions on free expression and media, and impunity for violence against women. While some officials were prosecuted for corruption, widespread impunity remained a problem.
1. The human rights situation in Haiti is characterized by a worrying security situation due to armed gangs protected by the state. These gangs regularly receive weapons and ammunition to attack opposition neighborhoods and protesters, resulting in five massacres since 2018 that killed over 100 people.
2. The judiciary system is dysfunctional due to underfunding and political interference. Over 70% of prisoners are awaiting trial and it is difficult for ordinary citizens to access justice.
3. Detention conditions are inhumane with overcrowding far exceeding capacity. Prison authorities do not protect women from gang rape by male inmates.
4. The constitutional order is breaking down as the president has been unable to establish a new government and

The document provides a conflict analysis of Egypt, summarizing the key conflict dynamics, triggers, actors and causes of conflict according to recent literature. It finds that conflict in Egypt manifests as popular unrest and terrorist attacks, with proximate drivers including repressive politics, military control over the judiciary, and migration issues. Structural causes include economic challenges and environmental factors. Key actors fueling conflict are the Egyptian military, trade unions, Salafist parties like the Muslim Brotherhood, and extremist groups operating in different regions.

Ethically Aligned Design (Version 2 - For Public Discussion)prb404
Ā
Autonomous and intelligent technical systems are specifically designed to reduce the necessity for
human intervention in our day-to-day lives. In so doing, these new systems are also raising concerns
about their impact on individuals and societies. Current discussions include advocacy for a positive
impact, such as optimization of processes and resource usage, more informed planning and decisions,
and recognition of useful patterns in big data. Discussions also include warnings about potential harm to
privacy, discrimination, loss of skills, adverse economic impacts, risks to security of critical infrastructure,
and possible negative long-term effects on societal well-being.
Because of their nature, the full benefit of these technologies will be attained only if they are aligned
with societyās defined values and ethical principles. Through this work we intend, therefore, to establish
frameworks to guide and inform dialogue and debate around the non-technical implications of these
technologies, in particular related to ethical aspects. We understand āethicalā to go beyond moral
constructs and include social fairness, environmental sustainability, and our desire for self-determination.
Our analyses and recommendations in Ethically Aligned Design address values and intentions as well
as implementations, both legal and technical. They are both aspirational, what we hope or wish should
happen, and practical, what weāthe techno-scientific community and every group involved with and/or
affected by these technologiesācould do for society to advance in positive directions. The analyses and
recommendations in EAD1e are offered as guidance for consideration by governments, businesses, and
the public at large in the advancement of technology for the benefit of humanity

Conflict-affected countries dealing with national defense issues, the deaths and suffering of their people, and a fragile peace environment might find it challenging to prioritize climate change action. However, ignoring their adaptation needs while striving to promote peace would be a mistake, as there are close links between climate change and fragility.
The Vicente Ferrer Foundation USA is committed to combatting poverty and inequality in rural India. Our focus is to improve the lives of Indiaās most marginalized groups in order to contribute to a more just and equal society. We place particular emphasis on assisting the most vulnerable populations: children, women, and people with disabilities, to ensure that development in rural India leaves no one behind. Women in India are particularly affected by poverty because of societal discrimination.
The Vicente Ferrer Foundation USA uses a holistic approach to implement development programs. Through our local partners, Rural Development Trust, and others, we work with the most deprived communities in rural Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Together with our partners, we develop long-term solutions that empower communities and improve peopleās individual living conditions, promoting social change.
Our unique ācommunity-based approachā ensures sustainability, as communities become main actors in their own change. Communities identify common needs and solutions, and participate actively in their implementation. With the help of our donors, the Vicente Ferrer Foundation USA supports programs to ensure access to quality education, healthcare, housing and basic infrastructure, and to provide local communities with a sustainable livelihood.
In order to unlock the full potential of future generations, the empowerment of women and people with disabilities is particularly important. In community-based organizations, men and women are equally represented, which reinforces the role of women in their communities.
2. Executive Summary
ā¢ 588 people have been sentenced to death in Egypt since 1 January 2014.
ā¢ 72% of these sentences were handed down for involvement in political protests.
ā¢ Executions are on the rise: between 2011 and 2013, only one execution was carried
out. Since 2014 to date, at least 27 people have been executed.
ā¢ At least 15 mass trials have taken place since March 2014.
Reprieve has confirmed that at least 588 people have been sentenced to death in Egypt in
less than two years. Our findings show that 72% of these people were sentenced to death
for attending pro-democracy protests. The majority of the condemned have been sentenced
in patently unjust mass trials, where tens, if not hundreds, of co-defendants are tried on near
identical charges. The number of executions is also increasing, with at least 27 people
having been executed by hanging in the last two years, compared to only one in the
preceding three years. President Sisi has promised that the rate of executions will only
increase as he aims to change the law to speed up executions1
.
Egyptās system of mass trials defies international standards of due process and judicial
independence. As part of a brutal crackdown on political opposition, thousands of people are
being arrested. Many are then subjected to brutal prison conditions and torture, with scores
of people dying in detention2
.
Reprieve calls on the Egyptian government to stop political mass trials and death sentences.
Egyptās policy of repressing those exercising their right to freedom of expression and
assembly must end, and the rule of law must be upheld.
Methodology
This report sets out the statistics and information relating to the use of the death penalty in
Egypt under the current administration led by President Sisi. The information has been
collated and analysed under Reprieveās EC project, which is mandated to identify all
individuals facing the death penalty in the Middle East and North Africa region. The data
comes from publicly available sources, information made available to Reprieve by lawyers in
Egypt, and other governmental and non-governmental agencies and organizations.
A request for full details regarding the number of individuals sentenced to death in Egypt
was submitted to the Egyptian Ministry of Interior at the end of 2014; as yet, no response
has been forthcoming.
Due to the secretive nature of Egyptās system of mass trials and the fact that death
sentences are being handed down daily, it is impossible to arrive at precise figures on the
death row population in Egypt. It should be noted that of the 588 death sentences we believe
to have been handed down, some may have been successfully appealed, however, a lack of
transparency in the Egyptian legal system means that the status of each death sentence is
unclear. The figure may also be greater considering that death sentences are handed down

3. Sultan Gomaa was 16 years-old when a judge recommended he receive a death
sentence in a mass trial in Minya. The judge, Saeed YoussefA
, only realised his error ā a
recommendation that the death penalty be handed to a juvenile ā after a local newspaper
reported Sultanās age. The judge abandoned his recommendation, and Sultan was
acquitted. This luck has not extended to other juveniles in Minya, such as Islam Abdel
Basset and Hatem Zaghloul; both sentenced to death despite their young age.

so regularly. Death Penalty Worldwide has estimated that there are at least 1,700 people in
total under sentence of death in Egypt3
.
Reprieve has also assembled data concerning the cases of 89 people who have been
sentenced to death since January 2014 but are now awaiting re-trial. For them, the death
penalty remains a real possibility. The majority were charged with taking part in political
protests.
Part 1: Political Mass Trials and Death Sentences
The Egyptian government is currently employing a policy of mass incarceration, mass trials
and mass death sentences as a tool of political repression. Amnesty has estimated that
41,000 people are currently imprisoned in Egypt for supporting pro-democracy movements.4
The majority of prisoners sentenced to death have been charged in the mass trials that have
become prevalent in Egyptās criminal justice system. In less than two years, at least 15 mass
trials5
have been carried out. The current government has even adapted part of the prison
facility at Wadi Natrun to enable vast swathes of defendants to be tried and sentenced at
once. Thousands of people have been convicted on what Reprieve has found to be near
identical charges, such as āprotesting without authorizationā, taking part in political violence
and committing public order offences. In these mass trials, little or no evidence is produced
against the accused, and justice, fairness and judicial independence are rarely exercised.
Mass Trials Commence
The world was shocked by the first two mass trials to result in hundreds of death sentences,
in the spring of 2014. Some 1,212 people were tried en masse by the Minya Criminal Court
for their involvement in political protests. The Egyptian authorities decided to conduct two
separate trials. The first, in March 2014, tried 529 people collectively, all of whom were
facing death sentences. Of these, 492 received life sentences; 37 are being re-tried, and
again face the death penalty. In the second trial, a month later, 683 people were tried, and
183 received confirmed death sentences, 150 of which have since been upheld on appeal.
Each hearing lasted less than an hour, and many of the defendants were tried in absentia,
having never been arrested.

The term āmass trialā is not defined in international law. The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human
Rights has condemned the trials in Egypt where multiple people are jointly convicted as incompatible with
international human rights standards, on the basis that they fail to comply with due process and fair trial
guarantees. Defendants are not sentenced individually and are refused the opportunity of any meaningful
participation in their trial. Reprieve has therefore categorised trials of multiple people that have been found to be
lacking in due process as a āmass trialā.
4. According to Reprieveās investigation of these trials, many of the defendants were arrested
at random, based on eye-witness accounts of their attendance at protests. Some were
recorded as being absent despite being present, and vice versa. During the trial, 78 people
were held in the dock. They could not hear the trial and were not given a chance to speak.
Many of the defendants had been tortured on arrest, with one man dying in custody. Medical
examinations were denied by the prosecutors on the basis that there were too many
defendants, and therefore medical treatment would have caused an unacceptable delay.
Collectively Condemned
The first trials in Minya garnered widespread condemnation, but Egyptās policy of unlawful
detention, mass trials, and mass death sentences continues.
In a mass trial in February 2015, 188 anti-government protesters were condemned to death
based on vague allegations that they were involved in the deaths of 13 members of the
security forces, in the unrest following the security forcesā violent dispersal of protests in
2013.6
At the time, the military regime had dismissed charges brought against former President
Mubarak in relation to the deaths of hundreds of protesters in 2011. As a result, hundreds of
protesters staged sit-ins, but they were attacked by the military, who killed some 700
people7
. Angry at this, the protesters then went to the police station at Kerdasa, where a riot
resulted in loss of life on both sides, although only the protesters were charged.
On appeal ā again conducted en masse ā two of the 188 were acquitted, and one juvenile
had their sentence reduced. A further two defendants died in detention whilst awaiting the
outcome of their appeal; the charges against them were subsequently dropped. Some 183
people still face execution, 40 of whom are thought to have been tried in absentia.
This year, 106 people, including ousted President Mohammed Morsi, were sentenced to
death after being convicted on charges of ācolluding with foreign militantsā to organise a
mass prison break during the 2011 uprising against Mubarak.8
When Morsi tried to use the
trial as an opportunity to protest his treatment and the treatment of his supporters, he was
placed in a sound-proof cubicle ā now routinely used for defendants in Egyptās mass trials.
Death sentences continue to be handed down on a weekly basis by Egyptian courts in trials
where multiple people are tried together. The following diagram indicates the number of
defendants in mass trials since 2014 and the number of death sentences that were handed
down. For further details on these trials, see the Appendix.

5. In addition to these mass trials, a further 37 people have been sentenced to death during
this time in smaller trials.
These mass trials see tens to hundreds of people being tried on nearly identical charges.

6. Irish teenager Ibrahim HalawaB
was on holiday in
Egypt when he was arrested for attending a pro-
democracy protest in August 2013. At the age of 17
he was detained in an adult prison, and is still held as
a prisoner today. Ibrahim has been beaten by police
and held in solitary confinement in a cell with no light
and no toilet facilities. In other cells, he has been held
with hundreds of others in an area meant for 80
people which was full of mice and insects.
Throughout this, he has been denied access to his
lawyer and to medical treatment for the bullet wound
in his hand sustained during the protests, causing him
permanent disfigurement.
Despite the serious concerns of Ibrahimās case, the
Irish government have yet to call formally for
Ibrahimās immediate and unconditional release. They
have stated that they are not able to āinterfere with
cases before foreign courts.ā AustraliaC
and the USD
took a different approach when their nationals, one of
whom shared a cell with Ibrahim, were arrested in
Egypt for similar offences: they intervened strongly
and secured their release. The only way in which
Ibrahim is likely to be released in a penal system void
of any due process is by political pressure exerted by
the Irish government and the EU.

from the defence witnesses. As a result, some defence lawyers have boycotted the trials9
,
refusing to take part in proceedings that they consider to be a travesty of justice.
One Trial, 494 People
494 people are currently part of an ongoing mass trial in Egypt. According to the charging
documents at least nine of the accused were children in August 2013, at the time of the
protest they are charged with attending. In at least one case ā that of Ibrahim Halawa,
discussed below ā a defendant was wrongly recorded as being 18 years old when he was in
fact only 17. The defendants face a range of similar charges, including incitement or
participation in violence, membership of a banned organisation and illegal public assembly.
For many of the accused, there is a lack of any material evidence to indicate that they are
guilty of anything more than exercising their right to peaceful protest. The primary evidence
relied upon by the prosecution
consists of video footage,
photographs and witness
statements. Only a few of the
accused have been individually
named or identified in this
evidence as having been
involved in any acts of violence,
and even fewer were found in
possession of weapons upon
arrest.
The trial, which began in
August 2014, has been dogged
by constant delays. Defence
lawyers have, at times, been
denied access to the court and,
when permitted, have been
unable to make effective
representations due to the vast
number of co-defendants. Often
just a few of the lawyers are
picked to represent all the
defendants present in what
amounts to a 30 minute hearing
every 2 months.
According to Reprieve sources,
at the initial hearings, the
defendants present (many are
tried in absentia) were held in
three soundproof glass cages.
The only way to communicate
with them was via a

7. microphone over which only the judge had control. As he refused to press the button to allow
the defendants to be heard, the defendants did not have the chance to speak at their own
trial. Large numbers of police and security forces attend the hearings and on one occasion
they attended wearing masks, which defence lawyers and families found extremely
intimidating.
As the court room and cages could not physically accommodate all 494 defendants, a
purpose-built court in a separate prison, Wadi Natrun, was constructed especially for this
mass trial.
On leaving the courtroom, families of the prisoners have witnessed security forces beating
defendants with their fists and batons. Some were taken away, apparently to be tortured.
Part 2: Executions
Between the years of 2011 and 2013, only one person was executed in Egypt (in 2011).
However, the number of executions has been on the rise since 2014, with at least 8 people
executed that year (Amnesty International puts the number at 15 as a minimum10
) and 12
people executed in 2015 to date.
Six men who were executed by hanging in May 2015 were all found to have been tortured in
order to extract āconfessionsā. Furthermore, it has been reported that three of the men could
not even have participated in any of the attacks for which they were sentenced; they had
been arrested months earlier, and were still being held in detention at the time. Neither their
families nor lawyers were informed of their executions until after the event.11
In June 2015, President Sisi made it clear that the number of executions in Egypt will only
increase. Speaking at the funeral of Egyptās lead prosecutor, Sisi spoke of his aim to change
the law to enable faster executions:
āThe arm of justice is chained by the law. We are not going to wait for this.
We are going to amend the law to allow us to implement justice as soon as
possible.ā¦ If there is a death sentence, a death sentence shall be
enforcedā12
.
Part 3: The Legal Context
Since the military seized power in 2013, they have enacted various pieces of legislation
which have expanded the scope of criminal offences in Egypt, apparently with the aim of
stamping out political opposition and pro-democracy voices.

penalty
8. Protest Law
Enacted in 2013, the Protest Law criminalises any form of protest or public assembly that
has not first been authorised by the Ministry of the Interior. Non-compliance with this law
enables security forces to use excessive force to disperse demonstrations and arrest
participants. Those charged under the law have included young activists who played a
role in the 2011 uprising and in the years beyond, as well as supporters of Mohamed
Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Counter-Terrorism Law
The more recent ratification of a new Counter-Terrorism Law includes a range of vague,
imprecise and ill-defined crimes and increases the scope of criminal offences. Peaceful
exercise of freedom of expression may be considered illegal, as will the publishing of any
information about āterrorist organisationsā that is contrary to statements made by the
authorities.
The law affords state officials immunity from criminal responsibility for any force used in
the line of duty, grants sweeping surveillance and detention powers to prosecutors and
awards President Sisi far-reaching, discretionary powers to ātake the necessary
measuresā to maintain public security where there is a ādanger of terrorist crimesā.
The Egyptian government has labelled most opposition parties and human rights groups
in Egypt āterroristā organizations. This includes the Muslim Brotherhood Freedom and
Justice Party and the ā6th
of April Youth Movementā, an activist group of young people that
emerged in the years ahead of the 2011 uprising. A Cairo court ordered the Movementās
headquarters to be shut and they were banned on the basis of āespionageā and āactivities
that distort Egyptās imageā.
āTerrorismāE
is not defined in international law, thus permitting the term to be misused, as
in Egypt where the number of activities considered āacts of terrorismā has broadened in
line with political will. Under international standards, the death penalty must only be
imposed for the āmost seriousā crimes. āMost Seriousā has been defined by international
experts as intentional killingF
. Very few acts fall into this strict definition and it is
unarguable that āmost seriousā does not cover protesters exercising their right to freedom
of speech. In July 2013, the UN High Commissioner for Human RightsG
expressed
āserious concernā about the use of the death penalty in counter-terrorism cases where the
acts being prosecuted commonly āmay not meet the threshold of āmost serious crimesāā.

Egyptās Penal Code
9. Basma* talked to Reprieve about her brother, Omar* who was arrested for taking part in
pro-democracy protests in 2013. Omar has been moved to different detention centres on
several occasions, without his family being informed of his location. The family travel
from prison to prison, trying to find him, and are frequently lied to by prison officials about
his whereabouts. On occasions where they have discovered where he is, they are often
refused the āpermitā needed to visit him.
Under the 1937 Penal CodeH
, still in force today, any individual accused of attending an
āillegal assemblyā can be held jointly liable for any acts alleged to have arisen as a result
of that assembly. Consequently, the majority of those sentenced to death in protest-
related cases have been sentenced despite the fact that there is no evidence linking them
to any individual act of violence.
Under Article 40 of the code, the three judge panel - there are no juries ā may convict and
impose a death sentence on a āperson who gives the doer(s) an arm, device, or any other
object that has been used in committing the crime while being aware of it, or helps them
by any way, in the deeds preparing for, causing or completing its commitment.ā In other
words, if 500 people go to a protest, realising that thereās a possibility a riot may take
place, and a death subsequently occurs, a broad reading of this provision allows them all
to be convicted of murder.

The Sisi regime has also increasingly targeted lawyers. Over 200 Egyptian lawyers are
currently detained, merely for representing political detainees13
. Three lawyers were
investigated on 3 September 2014, for ādisrupting and causing troubleā during trial
proceedings for insisting that their client, the human rights activist Ahmed Douma, seated in
a sound-proof glass cage, should be heard14
. At least three lawyers are known to have died
in detention after either having been beaten, tortured or refused medical attention.
Part 4: Torture and Death in Detention
Whilst awaiting trial, many of those arrested are detained incommunicado for prolonged
periods. In some cases this has amounted to enforced disappearances. āFreedom for the
Braveā, an advocacy group campaigning to advance the rights of Egyptian prisoners, and the
ā6th
of April Youth Movementā, have reported members being arrested by security forces and
imprisoned where they are permitted no contact with their family or lawyers15
.
*Real names concealed for security purposes
Torture, ill-treatment and death in custody are rife in police stations and prisons. According
to Human Rights Monitor, more than 300 detainees have died in prison since the coup in
2013. The cause of death is principally due to medical neglect and torture inside prisons. In

10. August 2015 alone, 79 extra-judicial deaths were recorded in Egypt, most occurring in prison
and detention facilities16
.
Reprieve has interviewed a number of people who have visited friends and family members
incarcerated in Egyptās prisons. They talked of relatives who have been stripped and beaten
with whips, chains and sticks, subjected to electric shocks and show marks of torture on their
bodies. They have heard people being tortured during visits and detainees have begged āget
me out of here; theyāre going to kill meā.
Amnesty has reported that the methods of torture include the use of electric shocks, rape,
sexual humiliation, handcuffing detainees and suspending them from open doors. Another
hanging method, known as āthe grillā involves handcuffing the personās hands and legs to an
iron rod and suspending the rod between two opposite chairs until the detaineeās legs go
numb ā security forces then apply electric shocks to the personās legs17
.
Part 5: Acquiescence by Egyptās Allies
President Sisiās wave of repression has been met with little robust criticism from Egyptās
allies in Europe and elsewhere. Governments including the UK are increasingly turning a
blind eye to abuses in Egypt, and adopting a ābusiness as usualā approach to dealings with
Sisiās government.
For example, in January 2015, Tobias Ellwood, UK Foreign Office Minister for the Middle
East, led a trade delegation to Egypt of 40 British companies looking to do business in the
country. The trip was apparently intended to profile companies from the energy, construction
and retail sectors. However, Reprieve has discovered through Freedom of Information
requests that British security firm, G4S, was included among the delegation.
The promotion by the UK government of a firm that is heavily involved in security and
custodial services is alarming, given the ongoing abuse in Egyptās prisons. It also appears
that the Chair of G4S Egypt is a retired Egyptian general18
, raising further concerns over the
firmās links with the Egyptian security forces. Given that these forces are responsible for
scores of ongoing abuses, the UK government and British companies must take serious care
to ensure they are not complicit.
Part 6: Recommendations
Egypt today offers one of the most extreme examples of the death penalty being used as a
form of political repression in the Middle East. Activists, journalists, juveniles and many
others deemed to be opponents of the current government are being handed death
sentences in a manner that is inconsistent with even the most basic standards of due
process.

11. The Egyptian government must urgently:
1. Commute or vacate all death sentences handed down in flawed and politically
motivated trials;
2. Impose a moratorium on the use of the death penalty;
3. Discontinue its policy of trying people en masse and uphold each defendantās right to
a fair trial;
4. Immediately review its policy of detention and release all prisoners arrested simply
for attending political protests;
5. Take steps to guarantee the rights of freedom of speech and freedom of assembly,
protected under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights;
6. Ensure that prisoners and detainees are treated in accordance with the UN
Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or
Punishment.
The international community ā in particular, those countries that are closely allied with Egypt,
such as the UK and the US ā must:
1. Encourage Egypt to adopt a moratorium on executions in line with UN Resolution
69/186 āMoratorium on the Use of the Death Penaltyā19
;
2. Call on Egypt to conduct a full independent review of all sentences handed down in
mass trials;
3. Call on Egypt to release all defendants against whom there is no evidence, or where
the charges clearly relate to freedom of expression;
4. Raise concerns about Egyptās abuses of human rights during the next session of the
UN Human Rights Council;
5. Encourage Egypt to comply with all the recommendations of international bodies,
including the provisional measures granted by the African Commission and others.

ā¢ 19 June 2014: 14 people, including the Muslim Brotherhood's Supreme Guide
Mohamed Badie, received death sentences relating to fatal violence that was

13. ā¢ 11 April 2015: 14 were sentenced to death in the Rabaa Operation Room case for
their roles in opposing the military coup ā they were part of a trial of 51 people which
included at least 14 journalists and media workers. Charges ranged from publishing
allegedly false news to conspiring to overthrow the self-elected government.27
Evidence against the accused was apparently based on the testimony of one officer.
An investigation by Human Rights Watch found that the defendants did little more
than spread news about a mass sit-in opposing the coup or organize and publicize
peaceful opposition to Morsiās removal.
ā¢ 20 April 2015: 22 people were sentenced to death for their apparent involvement in
an attack on a police station in Kerdasa. 8 were sentenced in absentia. Another
defendant, a juvenile, was given a 10-year sentence.28
ā¢ 16 May 2015: 106 people were sentenced to death for ācolluding with foreign
militantsā to organise a mass prison break.
ā¢ 9 June 2015: 11 death sentences were upheld following a trial in January 2013 in
which 21 were initially sentenced to death after violence during the Port Said football
riot in 2012. 1 person was tried in absentia. They were tried alongside 39 other
people.29
ā¢ 9 August 2015: 119 people were convicted of joining a āterrorist groupā ā the Muslim
Brotherhood ā the political party to which President-elect Mohamed Morsi belonged.
They were charged for their alleged involvement in the deaths of a security sergeant
during a protest at the Samalout police station during the August 2013 clashes. 8
received death sentences while the other 111 received a variety of sentences
ranging from 5 years to life imprisonment.30

police officer. 9 were sentenced to death, 14 to life imprisonment and 1 to 10 yearsā
incarceration.
