Amnesty International USA is launching the Mustafa Kassem Fellowship named after the detained U.S. citizen who died in an Egyptian prison one year ago. Today would have been his 56th birthday.
Mustafa Kassem, an Egyptian-American from Long Island, New York, was detained in August 2013 while visiting family in Cairo. Like countless others in Egypt, he was beaten by security forces and jailed for being a bystander during the violent dispersal of a sit-in protesting the Egyptian government.
Kassem was tried alongside hundreds of co-defendants and charged with protesting the government in a sham mass trial. During the trial sessions, prosecutors failed to submit evidence establishing the individual responsibility of each of the 739 defendants, nor did the court insist on the need to establish such responsibility, rendering this a grossly unfair trial.
