Arab Organisation for Human Rights in the UK (AOHR UK) is organising a webinar titled: “Arbitrary Detention, Judicial Collapse, and Death Sentences in Egypt”
The webinar will discuss the continuing escalation of human rights violations in Egypt and the ongoing crackdown and widespread abuses that have persisted for nearly 13 years.
The discussion will address death sentences and executions carried out following grossly unfair trials lacking the most basic standards of justice and legal guarantees, alongside the continued arbitrary detention of thousands of political prisoners and the widespread use of enforced disappearances. The webinar will also shed light on collective punishment and retaliation against the families of detainees, in addition to the international community’s continued silence and failure to take serious action regarding the situation in Egypt.
The webinar will feature a distinguished group of human rights advocates, international experts, and researchers specialising in human rights issues in Egypt, who will discuss the legal, humanitarian, and political dimensions of these violations.
