CSOs appeal to Human Rights Council to address human rights situation in Egypt

Excellency,

The undersigned organisations are writing to urge your government to ensure that the human rights situation in Egypt is addressed by your delegation at the Human Rights Council at its upcoming twenty third session in June 2013.

"We urge members and observer states of the Human Rights Council to explicitly address the ongoing human rights violations taking place in Egypt under items 3 and 4 of the programme of work. We also urge your delegations to call for the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights to ensure that any memorandum of understanding establishing an OHCHR regional office between the OHCHR and the Egyptian government allows the regional office to monitor and report on violations of human rights in Egypt to the OHCHR and other relevant entities."
