Tuesday is “execution day” in Egypt -Eltahawy

The Egypt-bashing continued with the NYT, which has declared that Tuesday is now “execution day” in Egypt, citing 22 executions taking place in Egypt on three successive Tuesdays since December. Eltahawy claims the judiciary to be far from impartial, criticizing military tribunals in particular. Her stance is directed against the death penalty in principle, believing it is “state-sanctioned murder” and calling it “unjust and barbaric, everywhere.”
