A/HRC/19/58
Request for a visit
219. On 30 June 2011, the Working Group requested an invitation to undertake a mission to
the country. A reply has not yet been received.
Total cases transmitted, clarified and outstanding
220. Since its establishment, the Working Group has transmitted 66 cases to the
Government; of those, 18 cases have been clarified on the basis of information provided by
the source, seven cases have been clarified on the basis of information provided by the
Government, and 41 remain outstanding.
Observations
221. The Working Group is concerned by the fact that, during the reporting period, it sent
two cases under its urgent action procedure and four urgent appeals. 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. The Working Group also regrets that no response has been received to the general
allegation transmitted to the Government on 4 May 2011.
