New HRW Report: How Mubarak’s State Security Police Fabricates Terror Cases
Published by Hossam el-Hamalawy December 10th, 2007 in Activism, Egypt مصر, Human Rights حقوق إنسان, Police شرطةShabab… Tomorrow morning, a report I co-researched for Human Rights Watch, titled “Anatomy of a State Security Case: The “Victorious Sect” Arrests” will finally be launched online. The report investigates how Mubarak’s State Security Police fabricates terror cases, taking the “Victorious Sect” round-ups in the spring of 2006 as a case study.
I had the pleasure of working with HRW’s senior investigative lawyer John Sifton, of the Terrorism/Counterterrorism Program, this summer on the report in the months before I took off to Berkeley. Some additional research had to be done while I was in the US, and then the report was further delayed to confirm more details and update some sections… I’m glad it’s finally out…
