I can confirm my friends and @eipr colleagues Gasser, Basheer and Karim have been released and are home which I guess means we (and you) managed to #FreeEIPRstaff 💚
UN experts condemn #Egypt for arbitrary arrest and detention of Gasser Abdel Razek, Karim Ennarah & Mohammad Basheer – 3 rights defenders from the same organisation – apparently in retaliation for discussing #HumanRights issues with foreign ambassadors 👉 https://t.co/sTyG4VNoGS
Οι αρχές στην Αίγυπτο πρέπει να τερματίσουν την εκστρατεία αντιποίνων κατά της Αιγυπτιακής Πρωτοβουλίας για τα Προσωπικά Δικαιώματα (EIPR) και να απελευθερώσουν αμέσως και άνευ όρων τα τρία ανώτερα μέλη του προσωπικού που συνελήφθησαν αυθαίρετα.
🚨 Calling for your support 🚨
#Egypt security forces have arrested 3 @EIPR staff, who are now arbitrarily detained pending investigations into 'terrorism' charges. They are targeted solely because of #EIPR’s work & values.
Ask for their release. Sign ✍️ https://t.co/QPCQR8EQC5
The arrest & serious punitive maltreatment of @EIPR staff is a direct affront not only to human rights but also constitutes a serious diplomatic crisis.Therefore, all EU states must:1) summon their Egyptian ambassadors, 2) insist on the establishment of a special human rights 1/2
We’re nearly at 100k calling on Egypt to #freeKarimEnnarah and #freeEIPRstaff. Please, if you haven’t already, sign and share the petition with everyone you know: https://t.co/CnSXtCRUVa
The crackdown in Egypt - including the arrest of Karim Ennarah and @EIPR human rights advocates - is gravely concerning.
This repression is a reaction to their vital work defending basic human rights.
Lets support them internationally - Egypt must immediately #FreeKarimEnnarah
#Egypt: Amnesty International strongly condemns the security forces’ outrageous arrest of Karim Ennarah, director of criminal justice at @EIPR from South Sinai, where he was on vacation. His whereabouts remain unknown (1/3)
