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.
Hiwar » Egypt in Heated Debate Over Female Judges » PrintOlfa G. Tantawi
Egypt is embroiled in a heated debate over appointing female judges. The Council of State, Egypt's highest administrative court, voted overwhelmingly to reject applications from female law graduates. Supporters argue society and rural areas are not ready to accept female authority figures, while critics say this violates women's constitutional rights and moves backwards after other gains. The Prime Minister requested the Constitutional Court weigh in on relevant laws, but the Council of State reaffirmed its rejection of female judges until further studies are completed. Activists accuse the government, rights groups, and female applicants themselves of not doing enough to defend women's rights in this battle.
Hosni Mubarak was the fourth president of Egypt from 1981 to 2011. He resigned on February 11, 2011 after massive protests. In June 2012, Mubarak was sentenced to life in prison on charges of negligence for failing to stop the killing of protesters during the revolution. The document also discusses Egypt's governing style under emergency law, the role of the military, the 2011 revolution and rise of Mohamed Morsi, adoption of the new constitution, and ongoing political conflicts in Egypt as of December 2012.
The document analyzes the US intervention in the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état against President Morsi from a realism perspective. It argues that the US supported the coup to stop the Muslim Brotherhood from helping Hamas in Gaza and decreasing Egypt's dependence on Western nations. From a realism view, the US did not want its Middle East domination affected by a party not aligned with its interests. The coup removed Morsi, Egypt's legitimately elected president, and disrupted democracy to maintain Western control over the region.
Egyptian democracy leader Saad Eddin Ibrahim had been imprisoned for two years on charges of fraud and espionage but was recently acquitted. In an interview after being freed, Ibrahim said he planned to continue his work advocating for constitutional reform and minority rights in Egypt. Ibrahim is a prominent sociologist and human rights activist who established a think tank called the Ibn Khaldun Center, and has advocated for democratic reforms that are unpopular with Egypt's government. He was previously convicted and imprisoned by special state security courts but was acquitted after his case was heard by Egypt's appeals court.
The document discusses the International Criminal Court (ICC) and recent efforts by some countries, predominantly in Africa, to withdraw from the ICC or undermine its authority. It provides background on the establishment of the ICC and its role in prosecuting war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. However, some argue the ICC disproportionately targets African leaders, and the African Union has called on members to consider withdrawal. While not binding, this threatens the ICC's legitimacy and ability to uphold international law.

This document discusses the lack of justice for protestors killed during Egypt's 2011 revolution two years later. It notes that over 800 protestors were killed by security forces, yet no senior officials have been convicted. Investigations have been flawed, with security forces implicated in killings responsible for collecting evidence. Many cases against police have resulted in acquittals. The document calls for reform to ensure independent investigations and accountability for human rights violations against protestors.

The document summarizes Amnesty International's concerns about a crackdown on freedom of expression in Palestine. It discusses:
1) Arbitrary arrests, assaults and equipment confiscation against journalists by Palestinian authorities in the West Bank and torture of activists in Gaza by Hamas authorities.
2) A new Electronic Crimes Law passed without proper process that criminalizes online dissent and criticism of authorities, with harsh penalties including imprisonment.
3) Provisions in the law that infringe on rights to free expression and privacy by imposing surveillance, data retention and penalizing anonymous speech online.
The Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE) wrote to the Premier of China to express concerns over the conviction of lawyer Xu Zhyong. The CCBE had previously expressed concern over Xu's arrest in July 2013. Xu was convicted in January 2014 of "gathering crowds to disrupt public order" and sentenced to 4 years in prison. The CCBE is alarmed by the crackdown on those fighting for transparency in China's political system and believes Xu's conviction was intended to intimidate other human rights defenders. The CCBE urges the Premier to overturn Xu's conviction and release him unconditionally, and to ensure lawyers in China can practice without fear of reprisal.
När Amnesty i år publicerar sin rapport om dödsstraffet i världen för 2009, finns inte några siffror för Kina med. I Kina avrättas varje år tusentals fångar, fler än i alla andra länder tillsammans. Dödsstraffet är en statshemlighet i Kina och myndigheterna vägrar att avslöja hur många personer som dömts till döden eller avrättats, därför skiljer sig de siffror som Amnesty kan få fram alltför mycket från det verkliga antalet avrättningar.
The Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE) wrote to the President of Russia to express concern over threats received by lawyer Dmitry Egoshin for representing Vladimir Ott, who claimed to be physically assaulted by police. Egoshin received direct threats from suspects and their supervisor during a police lineup. The CCBE urged the President to promptly investigate the threats to Egoshin's safety, ensure his physical integrity is preserved, and guarantee all lawyers in Russia can perform their duties without fear of intimidation or harassment.

The topic itself is quite 'debatable'.
However, I managed to substantiate it a bit with some information collected from the Internet, still was not satisfied with the outcome. So, I made a survey on the common people of Bhubaneswar to know what they want.
I took down the datas collected from their yes/no response and compiled them into a graph which gave me a much clearer overview.
I hope that my presentation might be helpful to you all and know the current scenario of people's mindset to some extent.

Seek4media the cradle of the arab spring is moving towards democracySeek4media
Tunisia, which sparked the Arab Spring uprisings in 2011 by ousting its authoritarian president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, is still working to establish a democratic system of government. After postponing elections, Tunisia is drafting a new constitution to enable future elections. Meanwhile, Ben Ali is on trial in absentia for corruption, with prosecutors finding large sums of cash and drugs in the presidential palace. Tunisia remains in transition as it struggles to define democracy and complete its shift to elected government.
The document discusses human rights violations during the ongoing Syrian civil war, focusing on abuses committed by Syrian government forces and armed opposition groups. It details widespread torture, unlawful killing of civilians and prisoners, use of child soldiers, sexual violence including against male detainees, indiscriminate attacks on populated areas, and suppression of journalists reporting on the conflict. While both sides have committed abuses, evidence indicates the government, through its security forces and pro-government militias, has been responsible for the vast majority of serious human rights violations in Syria.
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.

Egypt under the realm of military in the post-Arab SpringIbn Thaha
The document summarizes Egypt's political situation after the Arab Spring, including the adoption of a new constitution that grants the military greater authority, a referendum on the constitution that was criticized for not being free and fair, the dilemma faced by the Salafist party in participating in the political process, increased restrictions on press freedom including arrests of journalists, the Muslim Brotherhood being labeled a terrorist organization which closes doors to reconciliation and could push some members to violence, and the military regime's attempt to create a situation similar to the bloody conflict between the military and Islamists in Algeria in the 1990s.
Egyptian coup analysis - exposing western hypocrisyArshad khan
Egyptian coup analysis - exposing western hypocrisy; Role of Israel, Christian church, Mubarak Aides and Arab monarch & kings in destabilizing arab spring
This document provides a detailed overview of political events in Egypt from 2012-2013, including:
- Mohammed Morsi winning the 2012 presidential election and reinstating the Islamist-dominated parliament.
- Mass protests in 2013 calling for Morsi's resignation led to a military coup on July 3rd that removed Morsi from power.
- The coup had support from Saudi Arabia, UAE and other states but was condemned by many others as undermining democracy. It is argued that the US also funded Egyptian activists and groups opposing Morsi.
- The document examines the roles of various political factions, media restrictions after the coup, and international reactions during this turbulent period in Egypt's
- 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.
1. The conflict in Egypt has its roots in decades of authoritarian rule under Hosni Mubarak and the popular uprisings of the Arab Spring in 2011 that led to his removal.
2. This sparked a power struggle between former president Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood, liberal and secular groups, and the military, leading to Morsi's ouster by the military in 2013.
3. The situation can be analyzed through realism, liberalism, and social constructivism lenses, with social constructivism emphasizing how new communication technologies and the spread of ideas influenced identities and political change in Egypt.
The document is a letter from Amnesty International thanking the recipient for speaking out in support of journalist Mohamed Fahmy. It asks the recipient to also write a letter urging Egyptian authorities to overturn 528 death sentences handed down without fair trials and to commute all death sentences to establish a moratorium on executions. The letter explains that Egypt's criminal justice system has become arbitrary and the courts are not adhering to principles of fair trials.
Egyptians riot after soccer fans sentenced to die – Houston Chroniclewaddywood
Riots broke out in multiple Egyptian cities after 21 soccer fans were sentenced to death for their role in a 2012 soccer riot that killed 74 people. In Port Said, where many of those sentenced were from, protesters attacked the city prison in an attempt to free the defendants. At least 27 people were killed in Port Said during clashes between police and protesters. Meanwhile in Cairo, families of the 74 victims who died in the soccer riot celebrated the verdict, though others criticized what they saw as a politicized ruling. The violence highlighted ongoing security challenges facing President Morsi two years after the revolution.
The document discusses trials held by international courts, including the trials of Saddam Hussein, Slobodan Milosevic, and cases handled by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. It provides background on the International Court of Justice and describes some of the major cases they have heard. Specifically, it outlines the charges against Saddam Hussein for crimes against humanity, the charges against Milosevic for genocide and crimes against humanity, and precedents set by the ICTR, including the first time rape was classified as genocide.

1) India's constitution enshrines fundamental rights for all citizens regardless of attributes and the country recognizes universal human rights.
2) However, violations of human rights continue in many parts of India, including extrajudicial killings, communal violence, conflicts involving Maoist insurgents, and restrictions on freedom of expression and civil society.

Mahienour El-Massry, a 2014 recipient of the Ludovic Trarieux Prize for human rights lawyering, was sentenced along with two others to one year and three months in prison by an Egyptian court.

The document summarizes the political situation in Egypt following the 2011 revolution. It describes Egypt's transition to a semi-presidential system and notes key events like the 2012 election of Mohamed Morsi and 2013 coup that removed him. It provides background on interim leaders Adly Mansour and Ibrahim Mahlab, as well as influential political parties like the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party and the ultraconservative Al-Nour Party.
This document discusses how terrorism threatens human rights and the challenges counter-terrorism measures pose to human rights. It outlines several human rights, such as the right to life and freedom from torture. While states have an obligation to protect citizens from terrorism, recent counter-terrorism laws and practices have threatened individuals' right to privacy, freedom from discrimination, and fair trials. Security techniques like passenger profiling, detention without charge, extraordinary rendition, and torture have been criticized for violating basic human rights principles.

intervention to halt violations
Below is
the full text of the press statement from ITN Solicitors,the legal representatives of the Egyptian
Freedom and Justice party.
President Mohammed Morsi was sentenced to death today (16 May) along with over 100 other
prisoners who have been prosecuted following the military's coup in 2013.
The trial and sentencing of hundreds of political prisoners has drawn huge criticism from legal
groups across the world. The sentences have been condemned as politically motivated and intended
to repress democratic opposition movements. Concerns about the imposition of mass death
sentences in Egypt have gathered pace internationally. Leading human rights' organisations, such as
Reprieve, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty have voiced their concerns about the use of death
penalties.
International law specialist, Rodney Dixon QC, and legal advisor to President Morsi's Freedom and
Justice Party said, "Everything must be done to overturn this shocking injustice. The military regime
must not be allowed to execute the first democratically elected President of Egypt. We have already
brought the use of mass death penalties in Egypt to the attention of the African Commission of
Human and Peoples' Rights and will now make immediate representations to the United Nations to
seek intervention to prevent the death sentence being carried out."
Dr. Mohammed Morsi became the first democratically elected President of Egypt following a popular
revolution, which saw the overthrow of the military regime, which had ruled Egypt for decades. Dr.
Morsi's democratic Presidency was short lived as the former general and now President Abdel
Fattah el Sisi led a military coup, which forcibly removed and detained President Morsi's entire
administration. Since the coup Egypt has seen the killing of thousands of unarmed pro-democratic
protestors, the detention of thousands of political prisoners, widespread torture, banning of
opposition groups, suppression of free media
http://www.granit.unh.edu/resourcelibrary/giscontacts?ID=31295 and the banning of protests.
2. The most significant act of suppression is the blatant use of the legal system to prosecute political
opponents and sentence them to death, sometimes hundreds at time. The legal proceedings have
been widely criticised as not even coming close to standards expected from a criminal court let alone
where defendants are to be sentenced to death. Lawyers have complained that their clients, many
now sentenced to death, were not given the opportunity to consult them, consider any evidence or
even put forward a defence. Some hearings that involved hundreds of defendants lasted only one
hour.
Recent leaks from within the post coup government have provided evidence that the judiciary in
Egypt is subject to interference by the senior members of the current military backed government
government. The leaks, which have been verified by international experts as authentic, have
identified senior members of the government conspiring to fabricate evidence and manipulate the
court process in death penalty cases.
Tayab Ali, who advises President Morsi's international legal team, said "The sentencing to death of
President Morsi must be condemned by the international community. Egypt has blatantly
disregarded its obligations under the African Charter and international law. The execution of
Mahmoud Ramadan in March this year, despite the African Commission's orders to suspend his
death sentence, show that Egypt does not respect the rule of law. The international community
cannot continue to do business as usual with Egypt while its coup leaders sentence thousands to
death including Egypt's only ever democratically elected President. It is time that the UN Security
Council intervened in the very many international law violations being perpetrated by Egypt."
