HRW issues another attack on Egypt’s human rights record

It was another human rights-laden day in the foreign press. Nine international human rights organizations have exhorted states at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva to minimize Egypt’s involvement in the council’s human rights and counter-terrorism expert’s report, HRW said. Citing “systematic abuses”, they have urged the states not to allow the expert’s role to be “undermined.” Also from HRW, LGBT activist Neela Ghoshal writes that Egypt’s government can’t claim a piece of Rami Malek’s Oscar.
