Egypt delays new Criminal Procedures Law
The Egyptian House of Representatives has approved the postponement of the implementation of the Criminal Procedures Law, which was scheduled to come into effect in October 2026, until October 2027, due to lack of technical readiness of the infrastructure. The delay aims to ensure the proper implementation of the law and to avoid issues arising from technical unpreparedness. This decision comes after extensive discussions and protests from human rights advocates and professional unions concerning some of its provisions, particularly those related to investigations without the presence of a lawyer and remote trial systems. The postponement is considered a step that allows time for preparations and training, reflecting cooperation between authorities to ensure the law is implemented in a manner consistent with the justice system.
