The increasing frequency and public acceptance of these practices is extremely dangerous. It signals that citizens, observing the actions of some state institutions, have lost confidence in legal channels designed to uphold and enforce their legitimate rights. Feeling they cannot find justice, some have adopted other methods.<br \/>\nThe undersigned organizations note that those in power bear a special responsibility for the situation. It is they who deployed civil violence during the Ittihadiya events in December, while prominent leaders have repeatedly threatened to escalate the violence, all the while studiously ignoring assaults on citizens. These actions only served to escalate matters, bringing us to the events in Muqattam, the location of the main office of the Muslim Brotherhood, the president\u2019s group.<\/p>\n<p>Signatory organizations<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\nEgyptian Initiative for Personal Rights<br \/>\nCairo Institute for Human Rights Studies<br \/>\nArabic Network for Human Rights Information<br \/>\nHisham Mubarak Law Center<br \/>\nCenter for Egyptian Women\u2019s Legal Assistance<br \/>\nAppropriate Communications Techniques for Development<br \/>\nEgyptians Against Religious Discrimination<br \/>\nNew Woman Foundation<br \/>\nAssociation for Freedom of Thought and Expression<br \/>\nEl Nadeem Center for Rehabilitation of Victims of Violence and Torture<br \/>\nThe Egyptian Organization for Human Rights<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The undersigned human rights organizations are deeply concerned by reports and testimonies indicating that groups of demonstrators on Friday, 22 March, targeted individuals for the purpose of physically harming them.
