'When someone is accused of terrorism in Egypt, the international community cannot take it at face value,” Amnesty says as it accuses the SSSP, a judicial agency, of detaining protesters and journalists on fake charges without trial
Egypt's Abdel Fattah el Sisi addresses participants of the G20 Investment Summit in Berlin, Germany on November 19, 2019.
“There’s no judicial oversight. We’re talking about a completely closed circuit,” Baoumi said. “If these cases were referred to trial, people would be acquitted at once”, as the state’s accusations are based on confidential police reports, he added. The prosecution agency renews people’s detentions for months and years without evidence, denying them access to lawyers and a fair chance to appeal, it added.
The general-turned-president has overseen an unprecedented political crackdown, silencing critics and jailing thousands.
