Reasons for Rising Security Violence Against Egyptians
The article points to an escalation in extrajudicial killings carried out by Egyptian police forces against citizens, especially those not wanted in political cases, in recent times. The Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights documented the killing of 573 Egyptians over the course of a year and a half, in incidents where police are accused of using deadly force excessively, often without clear legal investigations, under the pretexts of fighting crime and terrorism. It also discusses cases of torture and deaths inside detention centers resulting from systematic extrajudicial measures and abuse, amid ongoing laws that permit the use of deadly force without accountability. Human rights experts believe that the regime resorts to methods of terror and control to prevent popular outrage and avoid uprisings, despite warnings that continuing this approach could escalate anger and potentially lead to a revolution.
