Concerns of the EC regarding the news of the mass death sentence in Egypt

11.06.2014 La rédaction

Three MP asked the European commission to react to the case  Egyptian court sentenced to death hundreds of adherents of Mohamed Morsi.

Question for written answer E-004235/14 to the Commission.Marc Tarabella (S&D), Franco Frigo (S&D) and Jean Louis Cottigny (S&D)

(4 April 2014)

Subject: Muslim Brotherhood — Egypt

On Monday, 24 March, an Egyptian court sentenced to death hundreds of adherents of Mohamed Morsi (the ousted ex-President).

In relation to this historic judgment, Gamal Eid, a legal expert and head of the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information, has deplored ‘a disaster, a masquerade and a scandal which will affect Egypt for years’.

What is the Commission’s reaction to this case?

Answer given by High Representative/Vice-President Ashton on behalf of the Commission

(11 June 2014)

The HR/VP expressed utmost concern by the EU regarding the news of the mass death sentence issued by a criminal court in Minya in upper Egypt in a statement issued on 24 March. These concerns were firmly reiterated by the HR/VP during her face-to-face meeting with the Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil Fahmi in Brussels on 31 March, as well as during meetings with all the relevant authorities in the course of her mission to Cairo between 9 and 11 April.

The EU also deplores the lack of due process in the two-day summary proceedings in which the defendants were tried as a group rather than on the merits of individual cases, against the most basic standards of justice. The EU further believes that capital punishment can never be justified, and that a fair trial must always be ensured, as well as adequate detention conditions.

The EU is closely following up this case in Cairo, asking the interim authorities to undertake all the necessary steps to guarantee a fair trial based on clear charges and proper and independent investigations, as well as the right of access and contact to lawyers and family members.
