No.3752エジプト
性的に攻撃をうけた3人の女性デモ参加者たちが、引き続き治安部隊員により嫌がらせや脅迫を受けています。

(ジュネーブ発 08月03日)

 SOSトーチャー国際事務局は、エジプトにおける下記の状況に関して、皆様の引き続きの働きかけをお願いします。

<新情報>

 SOSトーチャー国際事務局は、SOSトーチャー国際ネットワークの一員である司法・法律専門職の独立のためのアラブセンター(ACIJLP)より、検事総長は、2005年5月25日、憲法76条改正の国民投票に関するデモ中に起きた事件の調査結果の発表をしていないという情報を得ました。

 ACIJLPから受けた情報によれば、憲法76条改正の国民投票に関するデモに参加していた3人の女性が性的に攻撃され、1人の男性が身体的に攻撃を受けました。検察局が調査を開始しましたが、被害者および証人は治安部隊に相次ぎ脅迫され威嚇されています。ACIJLPはデモ参加中に性的攻撃を受けた次の3人の女性から、申し立てを受けています。

  1. アビール・アーメド・ハッサン
  2. ハニー・イシャク・スマーン
  3. シャイマ・アブエル・ヘイル・スレイマン

 治安部隊員は、これら3人の女性と彼女たちの家族の跡をつけ、いやがらせをし、動きを監視していると言われています。さらに、情報によれば、治安部隊はこれら女性に陳述内容を変更するよう圧力をかけています。

 SOSトーチャー国際事務局は、治安部隊員によるこれらの人々に対する虐待と不当な扱いを深く憂慮し、検事総長が調査結果を公表していないことに懸念を抱いています。

<行動要請>

 エジプト関係当局に以下の要請をお願いします。

  1. 上記女性たちの心身の安全を保障すること。
  2. 責任者を特定し、裁判に付し、法律に基づき刑事罰あるいは行政罰を適用するために、性的攻撃およびその後に続く治安部隊からの脅迫や威嚇に対して、綿密で中立の調査を実施するよう命じること。
  3. 犠牲者に適切な補償が提供されるよう保障すること。
  4. 国内法および国際人権基準に基づき、国内全体における人権尊重と基本的自由を保障すること。

Sexual Assault and Intimidation

Geneva, 3 August 2005

The International Secretariat of OMCT requests your URGENT intervention in the following situation in Egypt.

New Information

The International Secretariat of OMCT has been informed by Arab Center for the Independence of the Judiciary and the Legal Profession (ACIJLP), a member of the OMCT Network, that the Attorney General has failed to announce the results of inquiries into the events which occurred during the Article 76 Referendum demonstrations that took place on 25 May 2005.

Brief Reminder of the Situation

According to the information received from ACIJLP three women were sexually assaulted and one man was physically assaulted, while they were at a demonstration about the Article 76 Amendment Referendum.

ACIJLP has received complaints from the following three women whom were sexually assaulted during the demonstrations:

  1. Abeer Ahmed Hassan
  2. Hany Isshaq Sumaan
  3. Shaymaa Abu el Kheir Suleiman

Members of the security forces have reportedly followed, harassed and monitored the movements of these women and their families. Furthermore, according to the information received, the security forces are pressuring these women to change their statements.

The International Secretariat of OMCT expresses its deep concern over the ill-treatment of these persons by members of the security forces and the failure of the Attorney General to release the findings of the inquiries.
