Furthermore, the Working Group notes that after the general allegation was sent to the Government numerous changes have taken place in Egypt. The interim and new Governments should secure the fulfilment of the duties under the Declaration to ensure that cases of enforced disappearance are promptly investigated and persons accused of having committed these violations are arrested and prosecuted; that trials are only carried out in competent civilian courts and punishments are commensurate with the gravity of the crime; the individual and collective right to know the truth about the practice of enforced disappearance in the country and finally that the victims of enforced disappearance obtain redress and integral reparations. 222.
