The Egyptian authorities are still violating citizens’ rights, citizens from all categories are arrested, women, children and sick people are not even safe from the elevating violations as the Egyptian Laws and international instruments ratified by Egypt are more applied.

Egyptian security forces arrested 8 people at dawn today, Thursday, June 25th including citizens that were forcibly hid afterwards.

The Ministry of Interior in its statement accused them of making a plan aiming at overthrowing the government on June 30th.

The organization strongly rejects arresting them without legal basis and demands applying the Egyptian law to validate these accusations.

The organization also condemns the enforced disappearance of “Dr.Osama” and his daughter “Mawada”, as it violates the international laws and instruments ratified by Egypt, most notably: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 1966.
