The Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies draws the attention of the Human Rights Council to the excessive and lethal violence unleashed by the Egyptian state and to the state’s failure to protect Egyptian citizens from serious sectarian violations. While we denounce acts of intimidation and violence committed by the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) as a political group and its supporters, we firmly assert that such acts justify neither lethal force by the state nor collective punishment of protestors.
