ECWR is deeply concerned about the rising security abuses against Egyptian citizens in general and women in particular. ECWR received many complaints from women who participated in peaceful demonstrations about the excessive use of violations of their rights in order to disperse the demonstration and target the women. ECWR also received complaint from a female journalist from El Dostour Newspaper about the abduction and abuse she experienced while she was covering the Judges' meeting in the Judges' Club in Abdel Khalek Tharwet St, Down Town, Cairo on Thursday, May 11, 2006. In an interview with Abeer El Askary, she said "At 8:00 pm, the policemen abducted and put me in a blue police Microbus. After they forced me to enter the microbus and took me to a dirty room on the 2nd floor of El Saida Zienab police station. There was nothing in the dirty room except a wooden chair. They started to beat me and call me names and tear off my clothes. A zaptieh (policeman) kicked me in my abdomen and slapped my face many times. The policeman told me that this is the way they are treating the three political activists that are in El Kanater prison (Asma'a Ali, Nada Elkasas, Rasha Azab) and after a round of beating and humiliating me, the policeman ordered two detectives to throw me outside of the police station, not allowing me to speak with anyone. They threw me in a microbus going to the Maadi Corniche. Afterwards, when I tried to stand in the street with my torn clothes they beat me and prevented people from helping me by telling them that they arrested me legally. When I went to the police station, I tried to ask the people in the street for help but the officer prevented any one to interference and told people "this daughter of a (expletive deleted), is accused of being a prostitute, we just brought her from a brothel" and he removed her veil and dragged her by her hair in the street." Abeer El Askary had also objected to the sexual harassment on "Black Referendum Day" in the Journalists' Syndicate on May 25, 2006. She submitted complaint to the Attorney General, who ordered the issue to be closed because the perpetrator is unknown!!! ECWR is outraged about Attorney General's decision and about the increased security abuses against women, especially journalists. ECWR is afraid that the precedent set by the investigations of last year's abuses will give the security authorities license to start a new round of abuses against the activists. This strategy of state sponsored violence is opposed to what the state pretends to support - women's political participation and democratic transition. ECWR demands from Members of Parliament to reconsider extending the Emergency Law, under which state security arrested hundreds of political activists in peaceful demonstrations. This represents a clear abuse of the freedoms of expression and opinion and is an unjustified use of the Emergency Law. ECWR requests that all honorable politicians in Egypt publicly join with all the political activists, especially the female activists, who where arrested in strongly objecting to the methods used by state security to deal with the demonstrators. |
