(23 September - Geneva)  As Egypt makes a bid for election to the United Nations Human Rights Council,  compelling evidence has emerged that implicates the Egyptian government and its military in the commission of war crimes and potential crimes against humanity.  In a letter sent to UN member states and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on 22 September, Egyptian civil society organizations have called for the immediate establishment of a UN investigation into serious human rights abuses, including extrajudicial killings in Sinai,  and for states to oppose Egypt’s Council candidacy.

    By US law Egypt is ineligible to receive any US aid, which they do, and without the US their military would be about completely useless.

    Because they overthrew a democracy elected government when they got tacit Western support because the democratically elected leader was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.

    For Egypt to be given the chair of this seat is just beyond the pale, it is like getting Saudi Arabia the climate change conference. Nothing matters anymore.

    Torture, murder, total lack of due process rights for the accused, kangaroo courts, you name it. We have evidence that Egypt has tortured people because we still have the receipt when the US handed them people to torture for us in extraordinary rendition.
