Egyptian authorities must conduct prompt, effective and independent investigations into the enforced disappearance for almost two years of a young mother, and her toddler, as well as the ongoing enforced disappearance of her husband, the child’s father, said Amnesty International today.
The organization also urges the authorities to immediately release the mother from abusive pre-trial detention and ensure the family’s right to adequate remedy and reparation proportional to the severity of violations and harm suffered. The Egyptian authorities have a long, grim record of forcibly disappearing and torturing people they consider government opponents or critics. However, seizing a young mother with her one-year-old baby and confining them in a room for 23 months outside the protection of the law and with no contact with the outside world show that their ongoing campaign to stamp out dissent and instil fear has reached a new level of brutality,” said Phi
