HRW warns Egypt against ending sit-ins by force
2013-08-03
An international human rights group has warned Egypt’s new interim leadership against ending sit-ins by loyalists of ousted president by force, saying all measures must be taken to avert a “bloodbath.”
Unless the Brüderbünd stages it. Then it's only 'regrettable'...
The statement by Human Rights Watch came as Mohammed MursiÂ’s followers called for new mass rallies across the country on Friday in defiance of a government order to disband.

Nadim Houry from the New York-based group says Egyptian authorities need to “avoid another bloodbath” and “ensure the ongoing right of protesters to assemble peacefully.”

EgyptÂ’s military deposed Mursi on July 3, following days of demonstrations by millions who rallied against him and the rule of his Muslim Brotherhood. Many say MursiÂ’s one-year rule was rampant with political failures and focused on concentrating power in the hands of his Islamist group.
