Egypt: Ahead of Ahmed Aboul Fotouh's trial, rights organizations demand the dismissal of the retaliatory case against him
The undersigned human rights organizations are gravely concerned as the trial of Ahmed Aboul Fotouh approaches, with its first session on Sunday, 27 April. Ahmed is the son of Dr. Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh, head of the Strong Egypt Party, and the trial stems from Ahmed’s publication of information about the violations his father faced in prison. This trial represents a continuation of the authorities’ systematic wielding of retaliatory measures against political opponents and their family members. The organizations condemn the holding of the trial before the Emergency State Security Criminal Court, which has an alarming record of issuing harsh sentences against political dissidents, journalists, and human rights defenders, amid an overall judicial failure of to ensure the minimum guarantees of a fair trial. The organizations demand the dismissal of all charges against Ahmed Aboul Fotouh, and further underscore the urgent necessity of ending the Egyptian government’s retaliatory policies, which only serve to further tighten the security stranglehold over Egypt’s public sphere.
