Extrajudicial killing and hostage-taking are crimes warranting immediate referral to the Criminal Court

The Arab Center for the Independence of the Judiciary and Legal Profession (ACIJLP) condemns the grave violations reportedly perpetrated by individuals affiliated to the security forces in the city of Al-Nagila, Marsa Matrouh Governorate, including the detention of women as hostages and the arbitrary execution of two citizens.

The ACIJLP expresses its profound concern over information indicating that 23 women were detained by security forces as a coercive measure to compel the surrender of individuals sought by the authorities, following the killing of three police officers by a fugitive from justice. Such actions represent a flagrant breach of legal and ethical standards and constitute serious violations of the rights to liberty, security of person, and due process.
