Five leading Egyptian human rights organizations today announced a list of seven necessary, clear, and urgent measures to stop the unprecedented erosion of human rights that Egypt has witnessed over the past years.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The organizations said, \u201cthe #First7Steps represent\u00a0the minimum to gauge meaningful improvement in the dismal human rights situation, and only include immediate measures that can implement tomorrow morning\u00a0if<\/em>\u00a0a political decision is made to that effect\u201d.<\/p>\n

The five groups called on all civil society organizations, political parties, unions, individuals, and Egyptian communities abroad and regional and international bodies to endorse these seven steps as minimum requirements to begin restoring the dignity and rights of all Egyptians.<\/p>\n

The seven essential steps are:<\/span><\/h3>\n

1-Free Political Prisoners\u00a0<\/strong>of all backgrounds are imprisoned or detained in the thousands for their peaceful actions.<\/p>\n

2-Halt \u201cEndless\u201d Detentions\u00a0<\/strong>are a tactic to keep critics in indefinite pretrial custody by launching multiple cases against them.<\/p>\n

3-Lift the State of Emergency<\/strong>\u00a0in force since 2017 in violation of the Constitution that authorities have exploited to suspend all due process rights.<\/p>\n

4-Stay All Executions\u00a0<\/strong>in political and criminal cases until their review by a presidential pardon board.<\/p>\n

5-Stop Criminal Prosecutions of Human Rights Activists<\/strong>\u00a0and close the infamous Case 173 of 2011 (\u201cForeign-Funding\u201d Case) targeting civil society organizations.<\/p>\n

6-Withdraw the Draft Personal Status Law<\/strong>\u00a0that reverses years of progress on women\u2019s rights and launch a national debate on new fair family law with equal rights for women.<\/p>\n

7-Reverse the Blocking of Websites<\/strong>\u00a0imposed illegally in the absence of court orders to censor critical media and content.<\/p>\n
