Egypt: EOHR Condemns the Incitement to Violence

press release

EOHR strongly condemns the killings of four women and the injury of more than 200 people in the events that took place in El Tera'a Street in Mansoura on July 19, 2013. It is a stark violation of the right to life. EOHR calls the State for assuming its responsibility in securing the demonstrators and separating the supporters of the ousted President and his opponents. It also demands to the Brotherhood leaders to cease speeches inciting to violence and to stop shedding the blood of innocent.

The Muslim Brotherhood announced a march starting after the Friday prayer from Mansoura stadium to Abd El Salam Arif Street, and then to El Tera'a Street. It resulted in the outbreak of altercations between the marchers and the opponents of Morsi. When the march arrived at El Teraa Street the altercations turned into violent clashes between both sides. Four women were killed and more than 200 people were seriously wounded.
