Dozens of protesters held a silent demonstration on Sunday in front of the Forensic Medical Authority in Cairo, to reject reports issued by the authority for those who died during several incidents since the 2011 Revolution. Protesters claimed the authority is corrupt and partial, accusing it of forging reports to hide the truth behind the cause of death for many revolutionary figures. Several revolutionary groups participated in the demonstration, including NWT, the Our Name is Mohamed El-Gendy campaign, Essam Atta group, and the Popular Current.NWT held a press conference on Saturday, where it stated there were 800 detention and 70 death cases occurred in Egypt during the period from 25 January to 11 February 2013. NWT claimed that detentions included 400 minors, adding that detainees were tortured and assaulted physically and sexually. |
