16/11/2005
The Egyptian Organization for Human Rights (EOHR) condemns Samasta Investigation Office (Beni Sweif Governorate) for arresting twenty-six persons from Samasta (Beni Sweif), because they protested against the candidate of the National Democratic Party (NDP) who won the seat in Samasta Constituency.
The EOHR fact-finding mission declared that on (15/11) twenty-six demonstrated before the counting commission in Beni Sweif, protesting against the NDP candidate who won the seat in their constituency. After returning home, they were arrested at 12 pm and detained in Samasta police station, they were accused of breaking out collective assemblies, chaos and destroying security forces' trucks in the record 6158 [2005], (Samasta Misdemeanour Court).
Related to the previous declaration, EOHR confirms that the abusive arrest violates the rules of the Egyptian Constitution and international human rights instruments which guarantee freedom of expression, opinion and peaceful assembly, though EOHR calls again for releasing the detainees, while the government must take an action in the annulment of the emergency law, which curbs freedom of assembly, personal security ……etc, all these freedoms are guaranteed by the Constitution and international human rights instruments, stipulated in Article 151 via a governmental decree. The government also is obliged to form a draft law to abolish Law 10 [1914] and Law 14 [1923], and then replace them with the law which guarantees the right to peaceful assembly according to the constitutional and international standards.
