🔴 Al-Shehab Human Rights Center condemns the sentence of imprisonment for Dr. Abdel Khalek Farouk and warns of the deterioration of his health condition inside prison
Al-Shehab Human Rights Center condemns the ruling issued by the Al-Shorouk Misdemeanor Court sentencing the thinker and economic expert Dr. Abdel Khalek Farouk to five years in prison, following a trial that lacked the most basic standards of justice, based on his opinions and analyses regarding economic policies in Egypt.
From within his confinement, Dr. Abdel Khalek Farouk warned of the imminent danger to his life due to the deprivation of medical treatment and exposure to sunlight under inhumane detention conditions, where cells are locked on detainees for more than 23 hours a day.
The center affirms that these practices represent a flagrant violation of the right to life and health, and are inconsistent with Egypt's international obligations in the field of human rights.
✍️ Al-Shehab Human Rights Center demands:
The immediate and unconditional release of Dr. Abdel Khalek Farouk.
Provision of the necessary healthcare for him until his release.
The center also reaffirms its categorical rejection of all forms of targeting freedom of opinion and expression, and condemns the unjust rulings issued by the authorities to intimidate every free voice.
