EGYPT: TOP UN HUMAN RIGHTS OFFICIAL URGES INVESTIGATIONS AMID
ESCALATING VIOLENCENew York, Jan 27 2014 2:00PMThe top United Nations
human rights official today voiced grave concern about the escalating
violence in Egypt, and called for a prompt investigation into recent
incidents that have led to scores of deaths and injuries.

High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay also appealed to all
sides to exercise restraint, after the "reprehensible" terrorist
attacks that led to the loss of life and injuries, including the
killing of at least 62 people killed in the capital, Cairo, on
Saturday.

"I call on all sides to renounce the use of violence," Ms. Pillay said
in a <"http://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=14199&LangID=E">news
release. "Security forces have a duty to respect the right to peaceful
protest, and it is important that Egyptian authorities comply with
their international obligation to ensure that all Egyptians can
exercise their rights to free assembly and freedom of expression
without fear of violence or arrest.

"Demonstrators must also ensure that their protests remain peaceful,"
she added.

Ms. Pillay stressed that security forces in Egypt must at all times
operate in line with international human rights laws and standards on
the use of force. At the same time, she condemned the violent attacks
against police and security forces.

"The people of Egypt have the right to go about their lives without
fear of violence," she said.
"I call on the Egyptian authorities to carry out prompt, independent
and impartial investigations into the killings, to make the findings
public and to bring to justice those responsible in accordance with
international human rights standards."

The High Commissioner expressed concern about reports that numerous
people have been arrested in connection with protests, stressing that
those detained should either be promptly released or charged with a
recognizable criminal offence and brought to justice in accordance
with international standards.

The recent violence comes as Egyptians commemorate the third
anniversary of the country's revolution, when mass protests resulted
in the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak.

Last July, renewed protests, in which dozens of people were killed and
wounded, led to the military deposing President Mohamed Morsy and the
setting up of an interim government. A new constitution was adopted in
a referendum earlier this month.Jan 27 2014 2:00PM
