Human Rights Watch on Tuesday charged top officials in Egypt of probable ‘crimes against humanity’ in a crackdown on August 14, 2013, in which hundreds of demonstrators were killed.
Security forces attacked two sit-ins of supporters of ousted president Mohamed Morsi in Cairo’s Rabaa al-Adawiya and Nahda squares on that day.
The assaults resulted in what HRW termed “one of the largest killings of demonstrators in a single day in recent history,” international sources stated.
A HRW report identifies the most senior security officials “who should be investigated… including Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim, then-Defense Minister Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, and Medhat Menshawy.” Nearly 817 protestors died in Rabaa al-Adawiya square alone, the report says.
