Human Rights lawyer Ezzat Ghoneim [AzzaElGarfTwitter] March 2, 2021 at 10:59 am
Lawyer and human rights defender Ezzat Ghoneim has just completed three years in pretrial detention in Egypt.
Yesterday, the Egyptian Network for Human Rights (ENHR) said that Ezzat had been transferred between police stations and various other places of detention with no legal justification or judicial ruling for his detention. The only apparent reason is his defence of the oppressed and political detainees through his work as a lawyer and his keen interest in promoting human rights in Egypt while he was executive director of the Egyptian Coordination for Rights and Freedoms, the statement said.
