Cairo (IINA) – Egypt's Foreign Ministry accused Amnesty International of issuing reports that directly and blatantly feed into the interest of the terrorist groups, not only in Egypt but in the world as a whole.
The ministry said that the persistence and perseverance of Amnesty International and other human rights groups to turn a blind eye to the acts of violence and terrorism committed in Egypt, and their insistence to target Egypt, besides their dealing with the developments out of a biased and non-objective perspective, raise questions about the relationship between terrorist groups and those organizations, and their real intentions and clear targeting of the Egyptian people interests.
The ministry expressed its full disapproval and rejection of the Amnesty International's report, in which it accused the Egyptian authorities of targeting the young activists and jailing dozens of people without fair trials.
The ministry said that what was contained in the report represents a clear and flagrant challenge to the will of the Egyptian people, and their determination to move forward towards a better future, and a denial of the principle of justice and due process guaranteed for all citizens, as well as a wanton disregard for the presidential pardon for hundreds of young people who were being tried or sentenced in criminal offences.
