The report is divided into three main sections. Part One deals with legislation, court rulings and procedures related to human rights in Egypt during 1993. Part Two notes different violations of political and civil rights during 1993, whether carried out by governmental or non-governmental entities. Part Three is an overall record of EOHR's activity during 1993, both monitoring, observing and fighting human rights violations and supporting and enhancing human rights culture in Egypt. In addition, the report includes memoranda on suspicions regarding the deaths of 14 citizens as a result of torture, and a description of the human rights record in Egypt as examined by United Nations committees. The EOHR concludes that human rights conditions in Egypt have gone from bad to worse. The year 1993 witnessed: (1) legislative regression in the field of human rights with the addition of more laws that contradict the safeguards of the International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights; (2) the spread of gross human rights infringements by some of the political Islamist groups; (3) an increase in the number of civilians referred to military courts; (4) continuing violations of basic human rights by sections of the security apparatus; (5) suspicious disappearances of individuals; and (6) maltreatment of Palestinian citizens in Egypt and their long-term detention without charge or trial. The report includes a brief discussion of a few positive initiatives, including resumption of the dialogue between the Egyptian government and international human rights organizations. Appendixes
