Activists protest referral of civilians to Egypt’s emergency courts (Al Monitor)

Egypt’s Supreme State Security Prosecution referred a number of imprisoned human rights lawyers and prominent political activists before an emergency court on Oct. 16.

The move triggered outrage among rights activists, as emergency state security courts do not have jurisdiction over civilians. Also, the detained activists have been in pre-trial detention for durations exceeding the jail time stipulated in the Penal Code — although the law expressly provides for their release.
