    Egypt approves death penalty for drug dealers

    Egypt’s cabinet has approved a draft law that would see drug dealers sentenced to death, Al-Masry Al-Youm has reported.

    The law, which was presented to the cabinet yesterday, was part of a broader bill to combat the spread of narcotics in the country and drugs trafficking.

    The draft amendment states that anyone who “brought or exported synthetic substances with an anaesthetic effect, or harmful to mind, body, or psychological and neurological condition shall be punished by death”, adding that those who possessed drugs for the purpose of trafficking could face life imprisonment and a maximum fine of $28,000.

    It stipulates a further fine of $11,300 for those found possessing drugs for individual usage as well as a prison sentence of at least one year.

    The move comes a week after British tourist Laura Plummer was released early from an Egyptian prison on a presidential pardon, after being convicted on charges of drug trafficking. Sentenced to three years, in October 2017 she brought 290 tramadol painkillers in her luggage, allegedly for her partner who suffers from chronic pain following a car accident.

    Drug addiction remains a serious problem in Egypt, estimated to be at twice global rates, with approximately ten per cent of the country, over nine million people, using narcotics.

    Tramadol is the most popular drug among users, followed by cannabis and heroin. The usage of Tramadol, in particular, has surged since 2010, with many attributing the rise to the difficult economic situation the country is facing and a sense of hopelessness amongst the youth.

    Drugs enter Egypt from South Asia, usually via sea and airports, and are then distributed across the North Africa region and into Europe. Drug trafficking in Egypt is also a core activity of transnational organised crime networks.

    However statistics released last month by the Minister of Social Solidarity Ghada Wali revealed that 116,500 Egyptians had been treated for drug addiction in 2018, a 12 per cent increase on figures from the year before. Some 97 per cent of those seeking treatment were men.

    Wali said that the demand for treatment increased, in particular after a media campaign that was launched last April featuring Liverpool footballer Mohammed Salah. The video went viral on social media in Egypt, exceeding five million views in the first three days of its release.

    The government has also launched an initiative to reduce drug usage among school bus drivers after it was found that all 56 drivers who had been reported for suspected drug use by parents in the first semester of the academic year, failed to pass a drugs test.

    According to Amnesty, since the ousting of democratically elected President Mohamed Morsi in July 2013, Egyptian civil and military courts issued more than 1,400 death sentences, mostly related to incidents of political violence, following grossly unfair trials, with testimonies often obtained through torture.

    Egypt executes nine over 2015 murder of prosecutor Hisham Barakat

    Aljazeera

    Egyptian authorities have executed nine suspected Muslim Brotherhood members convicted of the involvement in the assassination of Egypt's top prosecutor Hisham Barakat.

    The executions, by hanging, were carried out on Wednesday in a Cairo prison.

    In November, Egypt's top appeals court had confirmed the death sentence for the nine people convicted in then-chief prosecutor Barakat's murder in June 2015.

    An interior ministry official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to brief media, told the AP news agency that the families of the men were told to pick up their bodies from a Cairo morgue.

    A total of 15 people have been executed in Egypt since the start of the year.

    Rights group Amnesty International had appealed to the authorities on Tuesday to halt the executions, citing testimony by the defendants that they had been secretly arrested and tortured into confessing.

    "There is no doubt that those involved in deadly attacks must be prosecuted and held accountable for their actions, but executing prisoners or convicting people based on confessions extracted through torture is not justice," said Amnesty's Najia Bounaim.

    "At least six men have already been executed earlier this month after unfair trials. Instead of stepping up executions, the Egyptian authorities should take steps to abolish the death penalty once and for all."
    Last week, Egypt hanged three people convicted of the 2013 murder of senior police officer Nabil Farag.

    The previous week, it hanged three young "political detainees" convicted of the September 2013 murder of the son of a judge, Human Rights Watch reported.

    No one claimed responsibility for the 2015 attack against Barakat, but the authorities pointed the finger at members of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood of overthrown President Mohamed Morsi.

    Since Morsi's overthrow by then army chief and now President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in 2013, Egypt has cracked down on Islamists who backed the former.

    Hundreds of Morsi supporters have been sentenced to death, while the former president and top Muslim Brotherhood figures have also faced trial.

    The Muslim Brotherhood was outlawed and branded a "terrorist organisation" in December 2013, just months after Morsi's removal.

    Many of the death sentences have been handed down at mass trials involving hundreds of defendants and lasting just days.

    Ousted Egyptian President Morsi died in court Monday. Morsi should have been hanged in 2017. President Sisi insists on executing members of the Muslim Brotherhood.

    Egypt executes top militant extradited from Libya

    Reuters

    Top Egyptian militant suspect Hisham al-Ashmawy was executed on Wednesday following his conviction over several high-profile attacks, the country’s military spokesman said.

    Ashmawy, a former Egyptian special forces officer, led the Sinai-based Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, Egypt’s most active militant group, before it pledged allegiance to Islamic State in 2014.

    He then moved with a group of followers to Egypt’s Western Desert, later crossing the border to Libya to join the al Qaeda-linked Ansar al-Sharia, according to Egyptian officials.

    He was captured in the east Libyan city of Derna in late 2018 and transferred to Egypt in May 2019.

    Ashmawy was convicted on several charges including plotting a 2014 attack that killed 22 military guards, and the attempted assassination of a former interior minister in 2013.

    Military and civilian courts had sentenced him to death before and after his extradition.

    Egypt’s military spokesman posted a picture of Ashmawy with a thick beard dressed in orange prison overalls on Twitter. “This morning the death penalty was carried out on the terrorist Hisham al-Ashmawy,” he wrote.

    Local media including the state newspaper al-Ahram as well as security sources had said last week that Ashmawy had been executed, though the news websites later took down their reports.

    Egypt executes 7 convicted of killing police officer

    CAIRO (AP) — Egypt executed seven people convicted of killing a police officer in the Suez Canal city of Ismailia, after a trial that was “marred by serious allegations of torture,” an international rights groups said Wednesday.

    The defendants were accused of killing the officer and the attempted killing of another person during a fight in November 2013. A criminal court sentenced them to death, and the country’s highest criminal appeals court upheld the verdict in 2018, Amnesty International said.

    The police officer was shot to death while trying to break up a fight in Ismailia, according to court documents. The accused also allegedly tried to kill a civilian and seized the officer’s weapon before fleeing.

    London-based Amnesty International condemned the executions as “shocking and cruel.” It said in a series of tweets that the trial was “marred by serious allegations of torture and other grave due process violations.”

    Three of the convicted appeared with visible bruises on their faces in a televised confession on Nov. 26, 2013, five days after the police officer’s killing and before their trial even began “in blatant disregard of their right not to incriminate themselves,” the group said.

    Amnesty International said it opposes the death penalty in all cases without exception, calling it a “cruel and inhuman punishment.”

    The state-run newspaper al-Ahram reported that the seven were executed Monday in a Cairo prison.

    The Egyptian Front for Human Rights, a local group, said its tally shows Egypt executed 34 people in the first six months of this year.

    Among them was one of Egypt's most high-profile militant leaders. Hisham el-Ashmawi, a former Egyptian special forces officer, was hanged in March, according to the military, after his conviction for his role in planning dozens of deadly attacks on security forces.

    In June, authorities hanged a Libyan militant convicted of plotting an attack that killed at least 16 police officers in 2017.

    Eight suspected militants were executed in February after their conviction of involvement in attacks on two churches in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria and the Nile Delta city of Tanta. At least 44 people were killed in the April 2017 bombings.

    Islamic militants have stepped up attacks since the military ousted an elected Islamist president after big protests against his divisive rule in 2013. An Islamic State affiliate based in the northern Sinai Peninsula has repeatedly targeted security forces and the Christian minority.

    Three Egyptian policemen, four militants killed in prison break attempt

    Reuters

    Three Egyptian policemen were killed while preventing four Islamist militants on death row fleeing a Cairo prison on Wednesday, the interior ministry said.

    All four militants were killed in the failed attempt to escape from Tora prison, it added in a statement.

    Three of the prisoners named in the statement were convicted in 2018 with establishing and joining a militant group called Ansar al-Sharia and killing at least 10 policemen in a series of attacks between August 2013 and May 2014.

    The fourth was convicted in 2018 of killing a Christian doctor, local newspapers said.

    The interior ministry statement did not give further details.

    Ansar al-Sharia announced its formation in Egypt in July 2013, saying the army’s ousting of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi in the same month was a declaration of war on its faith and threatening to use violence to impose Islamic law.

    Egypt executes 15 'political prisoners' in new crackdown

    Middle East Eye

    Egyptian authorities have executed 15 detainees since Saturday, all of them political prisoners, a rights group and families told Middle East Eye.

    According to We Record, an organisation tracking and documenting the death penalty in Egypt, authorities executed on Saturday 15 detainees who had been in custody since 2014, in three cases the organisation described as “political”.

    A spokesperson for the group told MEE that the executions were "unlawful" since most of the detainees had been subjected to enforced disappearance and torture prior to their conviction.

    Two detainees, Yasser Abasiri and Yasser Shakr, were members of outlawed group the Muslim Brotherhood, from the coastal city of Alexandria.

    They had been arrested after organising protests against the 2013 military coup that brought President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to power, the spokesman said.

    MEE has approached the familes of Abasiri and Shakr for comment, but had not received a response by the time of publication.

    Egypt’s late President Mohamed Morsi, a senior Brotherhood member, was ousted from power by his defence minister Sisi in July 2013. Sisi has been president since 2014.

    According to Ahmed el-Attar, a London-based human rights researcher, most of those who were executed on Saturday had been detained in the maximum-security Scorpion Prison, where hundreds of political prisoners are held.

    On 23 September, three policemen and four detainees on death row were killed in a botched prison break from Scorpion Prison, according to the interior ministry.

    Attar argued that the timing of the executions may be linked to the incident, since those who were hanged were possible witnesses to what happened.

    With Saturday's executions, Attar said the number of political prisoners executed since Sisi came to power had reached 79, with 25 of them hanged in 2020.

    'Executions massacre'

    A hashtag launched on social media by Egyptian opposition activists to condemn the executions was among the top trending in Egypt on Monday.

    Abdullah el-Sharif, an Egyptian social media influencer, suggested that the executions were a response to the sporadic anti-government protests held since 20 September.

    “Write about the executions massacre, about the hostages detained in the junta’s prisons, and about their treatment of Egyptians with the punishment logic in the aftermath of any uprising,” he wrote on Twitter.

    According to Haitham Abu Khalil, an Egyptian human rights activist based in Turkey, eight more prisoners were hanged on Saturday in “criminal cases”.

    “Can you imagine what happened on bloody Saturday?” he wrote on Facebook.

    “[Egyptian authorities] were keen on executing 23 people on the same day to deliver two messages. 1. Terrorising the Egyptian street after an unsuccessful Friday of Rage, 2. Responding to the death of four policemen in Scorpion Prison.”

    According to Amnesty International, the Sisi government was the fifth worst executioner in the world in 2019, following China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Iraq.

    Egyptian courts issued at least 435 death sentences last year, compared to a record 717 in 2018, Amnesty said.

    Latest executions raise the total number of political prisoners killed under Sisi’s rule to 79, says monitor

    49 Executions In 10 Days

    Human Rights Watch

    Egyptian authorities executed 15 men convicted for alleged involvement in three cases of political violence as well as 2 women and 25 men convicted in criminal cases between October 3 and 13, 2020, Human Rights Watch said today. The authorities should immediately halt executions, and re-try those sentenced to death in grossly unfair trials.

    Thirteen of the 15 men charged with political violence had been held in Cairo’s Scorpion Prison. Their executions follow a suspicious incident inside Scorpion’s death row ward on September 23 in which Interior Ministry forces killed four prisoners after those prisoners killed four security personnel. Authorities alleged the prisoners were trying to escape.

    “Egypt’s mass executions of scores of people in a matter of days is outrageous,” said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch. “The systematic absence of fair trials in Egypt, especially in political cases, makes every death sentence a violation of the right to life.”

    The government typically does not announce executions, or even inform the prisoner’s family. On October 13, the pro-government Al-Masry al-Youm newspaper published the names of eight prisoners executed in the Maximum-Security Prison in Minya governorate, south of Cairo, including a woman. On October 6, pro-government newspaper Al-Watan said authorities in Cairo Isti’naf Prison carried out 11 executions, including a woman, convicted in criminal cases. Al-Watan reported on October 3 that authorities executed eight prisoners and on October 8 another seven in Alexandria, in murder and rape cases.

    The independent Al-Shehab Center for Human Rights published on October 7 the names of 15 people it said authorities had executed on October 3. Ten had been convicted in the South Giza Case 3455 of 2014, known as the Ajnad Masr (Soldiers of Egypt) case; three in the North Giza Case 4804 of 2013, known as the Kerdasa case; and two in the East Alexandria Case 6300 of 2013, known as the Alexandria Library case.

    The Kerdasa and Alexandria Library cases stem from violent events coinciding with the August 14, 2013 violent dispersal of the largely peaceful Rab’a sit-in protesting the army’s removal of President Mohamed Morsy, a day in which security forces probably killed over 1,000 protesters.

    The Kerdasa case involved violent protests and an armed attack by a mob on the Kerdasa police station, killing its warden and 12 other Interior Ministry officers and soldiers, and mutilating an officer’s body. A terrorism court sentenced 183 out of 188 defendants in a grossly unfair mass trial. The Cassation Court, Egypt’s highest appeal court, overturned the ruling in February 2016 and ordered a retrial before a different terrorism court, which in July 2017 sentenced 20 to death, 80 to life in prison, acquitted 21, and sentenced the rest to long prison terms. The Cassation Court upheld these sentences in September 2018. Seventeen of the 20 sentenced to death remained on death row. Nine leading Egyptian human rights organizations said in a 2018 statement that authorities ignored basic fair trial guarantees, including access to legal counsel and the need to establish individual criminal responsibility.

    In the Alexandria Library case, authorities charged 71 people following violent protests near the library and killings of 16 people, including an officer and two soldiers, in different incidents. In September 2015, a criminal court in Alexandria sentenced three defendants to death, one of them in absentia, and the rest to prison. The Cassation Court upheld the death sentences in July 2017 and acquitted four defendants. Human Rights Watch reviewed 66 pages of the case file comprising the indictment and the evidence, mainly unsubstantiated allegations by security officers with scant material evidence that two executed, Yasser Shokr and Yasser al-Abasiery, were responsible for the killings.

    In the Ajnad Masr case, authorities charged about 45 defendants of involvement in armed attacks by Ajnad Masr, an extremist armed group, which claimed responsibility for several attacks in 2014 and 2015. In December 2017, a Giza terrorism court sentenced 13 to death, others to prison terms, and acquitted 5. In May 2019, the Cassation Court upheld the sentences. Three people from this case remain on death row.

    Under President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, Egypt has become one of the top 10 countries for executions and death sentences. Those arrested for alleged political violence frequently face a host of abuses including enforced disappearances, torture to extract confessions, and no access to lawyers. In an examination of 28 death sentence cases since 2016, the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights found that authorities had forcibly disappeared 198 people, and 212 said they had been tortured. The majority of those sentenced to death were convicted in military or terrorism court trials that do not meet fair trial standards.

    Authorities routinely add dozens, sometimes hundreds, of defendants to a case without justification. Mass trials, which became the norm after 2013 in political cases, do not allow sufficient time to present a defense or to establish individual criminal responsibility.

    Human Rights Watch opposes the death penalty in all circumstances. In 2017, Human Rights Watch said that President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and other officials should issue a moratorium on the death penalty in view of the sharp rise in the number of death sentences and the failure to pass a comprehensive transitional justice law.

    The 13 executed in the Ajnad Masr and Kerdasa cases on October 3, 2020 were being held in Scorpion Prison, where the suspicious killings had occurred.

    On September 23, pro-government news media, citing unnamed security sources, reported that Interior Ministry forces had killed four death row inmates as they tried to escape the Scorpion prison, killing three officers and injuring another officer and a soldier, who died the next day. Defense and Interior Ministry officials, including Interior Minister General Mahmoud Tawfik, visited the prison a few hours later, but the government released no official statement. Media reported the names of the inmates killed, including three whose death sentences the Cassation Court upheld in July.

    Lawyers, families of inmates, and former prisoners cast doubt on the “prison escape” story on social media. Authorities had imposed a blanket ban on visits to Scorpion since May 2018 and deprived prisoners of exercise and medical care. The death row ward where the incident happened housed an estimated 25 inmates, a lawyer told Human Rights Watch. The lawyer, who spoke with relatives of two inmates, said that the four inmates killed “took by surprise” the officers who had come to routinely inspect their cell and “slaughtered” them using sharp tools. The lawyer said inmates have the capability to improvise sharp objects.

    Following the killings, the four inmates cheered loudly, the lawyer said, adding that inmates in other cells heard them and saw blood in the corridor. Shortly afterward security forces came and gunshots were heard. The lawyer said that inmates in other cells believe the reinforced security personnel quickly took control and killed the four prisoners.

    The independent rights group We Record published a similar account based on information from five witnesses. An activist with the group told Human Rights Watch that a person who saw the bodies of the four inmates said they had numerous gunshots to the head and chest.

    Scorpion Prison, officially Maximum Security Prison 992, is highly secure, one of seven prisons inside Cairo’s Tora Prison Complex and where authorities have placed many senior Muslim Brotherhood leaders, Islamic State (also known as ISIS) suspects, and other high-profile prisoners. Even if an individual managed to get outside Scorpion’s heavily armed high walls, he would have to pass several kilometers inside the Tora Complex to reach the outer gates.

    The lawyer in touch with families and the activist, both outside Egypt, told Human Rights Watch that they feared the executions on October 3 were in retaliation for the killing of the officers, and could have eliminated witnesses.

    Egypt has had a pattern of judicial and suspicious extrajudicial killings following attacks on security forces or civilians in recent years, Human Rights Watch said. Several officials including President al-Sisi have spoken of “revenge” rather than law enforcement to justify executions.

    Following the incident, the Prison Administration Authority conducted a nationwide prison inspection campaign, which prisoners call tagreeda, (stripping), seizing most of the prisoners’ possessions, including purchased blankets and clothes, as well as hygiene tools, radios, and mattresses. A prisoner and families of inmates in three other prisons in the Tora Prison Complex told Human Rights Watch they have had such “inspections” since the incident.

    One prisoner and another’s relative said that prisoners in Tora Istiqbal Prison have undertaken a hunger strike. The independent Mada Masr site reported that hundreds had joined since October 9 to protest the intensive searches and confiscations.

    “The pattern of Egyptian authorities executing death row inmates following attacks on security forces makes halting executions even more urgent,” Stork said.

    Egypt carries out 11 executions in single day, outcry over mounting deaths intensifies

    Tuesday morning, Egyptian authorities carried out the death penalty for 11 people convicted of criminal offenses committed in recent years, according to a security official.

    "Eleven people were executed in Burj Al Arab prison. All of them were convicted in criminal murder cases," the official said.

    He explained that "the crimes were committed in recent years in the governorates of Alexandria and Beheira, and final death sentences were passed on the perpetrators."

    Five people, including three women, were executed Saturday.

    In December, Amnesty International condemned what it described as a "feverish wave" of executions in Egypt, confirming that dozens of convicts were executed in this country during the months of October and November 2020.

    The London-based human rights organization said in a report that "in October and November alone, the Egyptian authorities executed at least 57 men and women," in a toll that it said was almost twice the outcome of the entire past year.

    "The Egyptian authorities have embarked on a wave of frenzied executions in recent months ... and in some cases after mass trials that are largely unfair," said Philip Luther, the Middle East and North Africa official at Amnesty International.

    The human rights organization suggested that the real number of death sentences that were carried out is greater, "because the Egyptian authorities do not publish statistics on executions or the number of prisoners sentenced to death, nor do they inform families or lawyers before the execution of death sentences."

    The organization said it was not able to independently verify reports of pro-government media about more than 30 additional executions during the same period.

    The organization reported that the "execution wave" followed an incident in September in the famous Tora prison, south of Cairo, in which a number of policemen and death row inmates were killed during a failed escape attempt.

    The international human rights organization Human Rights Watch announced that the Egyptian authorities carried out 49 death sentences during ten days in October.

    The two organizations urged the Egyptian authorities to "immediately halt" the executions.

    Egypt: Young man sentenced to death for raping, beating and killing 10-year-old cousin

    Girl was last seen along with her cousin as per CCTV camera

    By Tawfiq Nasrallah
    Gulf News

    Dubai: An Egyptian man has been sentenced to death for raping and killing his 10-year-old cousin, local media reported.

    According to Al Ahram newspaper, the crime dates back to last May; the girl was playing outside her house and disappeared suddenly.

    While searching for the girl, her family and relatives found her body floating in a lake near their home.

    Local police were immediately notified and rescue teams recovered the girl’s body, which was taken to the hospital for a forensic autopsy. According to the coroner’s report, the girl was raped, beaten and strangled to death.

    After receiving the report, the criminal investigation department launched extensive investigation into the incident and learnt that the girl was last seen with her cousin, as evidenced by CCTV cameras.

    The latter was summoned and confronted with CCTV footage and available evidence. Although he denied the charges from the very beginning, he admitted to raping, beating and killing the girl later.

    The young man was accordingly sentenced to death and the sentence was upheld by the Grand Mufti.
