Joint Statement: Rights Groups Alarmed by Inhumane and Life Threatening Conditions in Egypt’s Badr Prison
We, the undersigned organizations, are profoundly concerned by the recent and rapid deterioration of conditions inside Egypt’s Badr Rehabilitation and Correctional Center, according to testimonies from detainees’ families. We are alarmed by recent reports of suicide attempts and a mass hunger strike in response to widespread power cuts in Badr 1 prison, which have subjected prisoners to dangerous and life-threatening conditions. We are also alarmed by the reports of an ongoing hunger strike in Badr 3 prison due to collective violations of detainees’ rights. The undersigned call on the government of Egypt to immediately meet the demands of hunger striking detainees, address long-standing calls for transparency in and access to Egypt’s prison system by independent human rights organizations, and immediately and unconditionally release all those who are unjustly detained in the country.
