Amnesty: Egypt Handcuffed, Deported Sudanese Refugees in Mass Arrests

Jun 19, 2024, 10:16 AM

Amnesty International has accused Egypt of unlawfully deporting Sudanese refugees who fled the conflict in Sudan. The rights group reported that Egyptian authorities have carried out mass arrests and deportations of thousands of refugees, including women, men, and children, who are being detained in deplorable and inhumane conditions. Amnesty International's report highlights that the Egyptian border force, which has received billions of euros in EU funding, is involved in these actions. The refugees, seeking safety from the war in Sudan, are facing severe human rights violations in Egypt, with many being handcuffed like dangerous criminals.
