The International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) condemned on Monday the “egregious human rights violations” of Egyptian authorities, including “the right to life.”

The statement was made in reference to Egypt’s execution of six young men on Sunday, “following their conviction in an unfair trial by a military court”.

According to the ICJ, the military proceedings in the “Arab Sharkas Cell” case in which these young men were executed, violated their right to a fair trial by “a competent, independent and impartial tribunal”.

Egypt’s criminal law requires that those who receive death sentences are hanged.
