“Egypt is failing to provide a safe and enabling environment for civil society in the country,” United Nations experts Michel Forst, David Kaye, and Maina Kiai said on Monday. Pointing to the Nadeem Centre for Rehabilitation of Victims of Violence, they accused Egypt of cracking down on NGOs so human rights violations would be buried. “We are also seriously alarmed by the interrogation of several human rights defenders and the risk that they may face in detention or prosecution for their work, as well as the improper use of travel bans and asset freezing,” they said.
