In Defense of the Right for Peaceful Demonstration

A Report by the Egyptian Organization for Human Rights

On Police Transgressions on the Right to Demonstrate

Against the War

Recommendations 

The Egyptian Organization for Human Rights calls on Egyptian authorities to immediately release all those detained and to close all their files.  It also calls for the following:

                 v            To investigate immediately the policemen who beat demonstrators to comport with the International Convention for Combating Torture, a document ratified by the Egyptian government.  The Agreement says  in relevant part that:

"Each signing country guarantees immediate and just investigation when discovering reasonable evidence that confirms that an act of torture took place in any of the areas under its judicial leadership.”

                 v            To eliminate assembly law number 10 of 1914 and to substitute it with one regulating the right to demonstrate according to international and constitutional law.  Under these circumstances the Ministry of Interior would be informed of all the necessary information concerning the demonstration such as where and when the meeting will be, and where it may move to so as not to disturb traffic. 

                 v            To eliminate all restrictions put on the right to establish organizations, parties and syndicates. 

Again the Egyptian Organization for Human Rights renews its call for abolishing the "Emergency Law" which negatively effects many rights and freedoms (both public and private) such as the right to peacefully assemble.
