MYANMAR: ANNUAL REPORT COUNTRY ENTRY 2016
By Amnesty International, 24 February 2016, Index number: ASA 16/3511/2016
Authorities failed to address rising religious intolerance and incitement to discrimination and violence against
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
intensified a clampdown on freedoms of expression, association and peaceful assembly. Reports of abuses of
international human rights and humanitarian law in areas of internal armed conflict persisted. Security forces
suspected of human rights violations continued to enjoy near-total impunity.

Tunisia Elects President in Successful and Transparent Electoral ProcessJamaity
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.

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;
Single case of an Administrative Manager & three cases of University Staff Professors & three cases of Lawyers & 8 cases of Engineers & 8 cases of Craftsmen & 5 cases of Journalists & 5 cases of Doctors & 6 cases of Teachers &3 cases of Supervisors & 2 cases of Pharmacists & 5 cases of Accountants &5 cases of workers & 46 cases of Self-employed individuals & 2 cases of Merchants & 8 cases of University degree holders & 23 cases of apprehended females & 17 cases of underage children and 88 cases of University undergraduates .
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.
Executive Summary
This report is being issued while there are still 98 girls and women in custody and arbitrary detention by the security authorities, for different periods and times, in addition to the 4 cases of compulsory disappearance that haven't been found yet. Besides the 3 cases of extrajudicial killings. We monitored also the sentencing to death of the whole family of the Pilgrim Samia Shanan, the report also monitored the presentation of women and girls to military trials. According to the report Cairo occupies the largest number in cases of arrest by 51 detained.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

out. Since 2014 to date, at least 27 people have been executed.
• 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
.
Egypt’s 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.
Egypt’s 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 Reprieve’s 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 Egypt’s 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 – a
recommendation that the death penalty be handed to a juvenile – after a local newspaper
reported Sultan’s 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.
A

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 Egypt’s 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 “protesting without authorization”, 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 ‘mass trial’ 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 ‘mass trial’.
4. According to Reprieve’s 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 Egypt’s 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 forces’ 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 – again conducted en masse – 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 “colluding with foreign militants” 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 – now routinely used for defendants in Egypt’s 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.
Judges routinely refuse to consider evidence produced by the defence, or to hear testimony

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 Ibrahim’s case, the
Irish government have yet to call formally for
Ibrahim’s immediate and unconditional release. They
have stated that they are not able to “interfere with
cases before foreign courts.” 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 – that of Ibrahim Halawa,
discussed below – 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
9
http://www.hrw.org/news/2014/04/29/egypt-fresh-assault-justice
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 ‘confessions’. 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 Egypt’s lead prosecutor, Sisi spoke of his aim to change
the law to enable faster executions:
“The 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.… If there is a death sentence, a death sentence shall be
enforced”12
.
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.

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 “terrorist organisations” 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 “take the necessary
measures” to maintain public security where there is a “danger of terrorist crimes”.
The Egyptian government has labelled most opposition parties and human rights groups
in Egypt ‘terrorist’ organizations. This includes the Muslim Brotherhood Freedom and
Justice Party and the ‘6th
of April Youth Movement’, an activist group of young people that
emerged in the years ahead of the 2011 uprising. A Cairo court ordered the Movement’s
headquarters to be shut and they were banned on the basis of “espionage” and “activities
that distort Egypt’s image”.
‘Terrorism’E
is not defined in international law, thus permitting the term to be misused, as
in Egypt where the number of activities considered ‘acts of terrorism’ has broadened in
line with political will. Under international standards, the death penalty must only be
imposed for the ‘most serious’ crimes. ‘Most Serious’ has been defined by international
experts as intentional killingF
. Very few acts fall into this strict definition and it is
unarguable that ‘most serious’ does not cover protesters exercising their right to freedom
of speech. In July 2013, the UN High Commissioner for Human RightsG
expressed
‘serious concern’ about the use of the death penalty in counter-terrorism cases where the
acts being prosecuted commonly “may not meet the threshold of ‘most serious crimes’”.

Egypt’s 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 “permit” needed to visit him.
Under the 1937 Penal CodeH
, still in force today, any individual accused of attending an
“illegal assembly” 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 – may convict and
impose a death sentence on a “person 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.” In other
words, if 500 people go to a protest, realising that there’s 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.
H
https://www.unodc.org/tldb/pdf/Egypt/EGY_Crim_Liability_1937_EN.pdf
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 “disrupting and causing trouble” 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. ‘Freedom for the
Brave’, an advocacy group campaigning to advance the rights of Egyptian prisoners, and the
‘6th
of April Youth Movement’, 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

15
https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/mde12/1853/2015/en/
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 Egypt’s 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 “get
me out of here; they’re going to kill me”.
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 “the grill” involves handcuffing the person’s hands and legs to an
iron rod and suspending the rod between two opposite chairs until the detainee’s legs go
numb – security forces then apply electric shocks to the person’s legs17
.
Part 5: Acquiescence by Egypt’s Allies
President Sisi’s wave of repression has been met with little robust criticism from Egypt’s
allies in Europe and elsewhere. Governments including the UK are increasingly turning a
blind eye to abuses in Egypt, and adopting a ‘business as usual’ approach to dealings with
Sisi’s 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 Egypt’s prisons. It also appears
that the Chair of G4S Egypt is a retired Egyptian general18
, raising further concerns over the
firm’s 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 defendant’s 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 – in particular, those countries that are closely allied with Egypt,
such as the UK and the US – must:
1. Encourage Egypt to adopt a moratorium on executions in line with UN Resolution
69/186 ‘Moratorium on the Use of the Death Penalty’19
;
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 Egypt’s 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.

12. Appendix: Trials en masse and death sentences
• 24 March 2014: In the first mass trial, 529 people were tried at the Minya Criminal
Court. All were recommended death sentences. 492 received life sentences and 37
are being re-tried and may receive death sentences.

Only 9 defendants were present at the trial and were held in a cage during the
hearing.
• 19 June 2014: 14 people, including the Muslim Brotherhood's Supreme Guide
Mohamed Badie, received death sentences relating to fatal violence that was
sparked by security forces’ use of lethal force in August 2013 to disperse the Cairo
sit-ins. The defence lawyers condemned the sentences, stating that the court did not
differentiate between the defendants who were not even present during the
hearing.21
• 6 December 2014: 32 people were convicted for the killing of 25 policemen. 7 were
sentenced to death.22
• 2 February 2015: 188 pro-democracy protesters were condemned to death for their
involvement in protests in Kerdasa. 183 of the death sentences were upheld.

Qaeda.23
3, who were tried in absentia, received death sentences.
• 25 February 2015: 8 people received death sentences for apparently embracing
jihadist ideologies.24
• 24 March 2015: 7 were sentenced to death for allegedly belonging to a Sinai-based

13. • 11 April 2015: 14 were sentenced to death in the Rabaa Operation Room case for
their roles in opposing the military coup – 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 Morsi’s removal.
• 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
• 16 May 2015: 106 people were sentenced to death for “colluding with foreign
militants” to organise a mass prison break.
• 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
• 9 August 2015: 119 people were convicted of joining a “terrorist group” – the Muslim
Brotherhood – 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
• 7 September 2015: 24 Muslim Brotherhood supporters were convicted of killing a
police officer. 9 were sentenced to death, 14 to life imprisonment and 1 to 10 years’
