European Parliament resolution of 5 October 2023 on Egypt, in particular the sentencing of Hisham Kassem

European Parliament resolution of 24 November 2022 on the human rights situation in Egypt

The European Parliament adopted by 326 votes to 46, with 186 abstentions, a resolution on the human rights situation in Egypt.

The text adopted in plenary was tabled as a joint motion for a resolution by the S&D, Renew, Greens/EFA groups and members.

Parliament deeply deplored the continued lack of basic political rights and freedoms in Egypt, including in the context of the holding of COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh. It regretted that COP27 did not lead to an improvement in the human rights situation. It condemned in the strongest terms the Egyptian authorities' censorship, harassment and intimidation of representatives of Egypt's civil society, which took place even on international UN premises, as well as the new wave of arrests and detentions in the context of COP27.

It firmly condemned the continued arbitrary and pre-trial detention of tens of thousands of prisoners of conscience in Egypt, many of whom are detained in inhuman conditions without access to a fair trial or basic rights.

The European Parliament adopted by 480 votes to 51, with 70 abstentions a resolution on executions in Egypt.

The resolution was tabled by the EPP, S&D, ECR, ALDE, GUE/NGL, Greens/EFA and EFDD groups.

Noting that in 2017, Egyptian courts handed down at least 186 death sentences and 16 people were executed, Parliament strongly condemned the use of capital punishment, and called for a halt to any imminent executions in Egypt. The Egyptian authorities were asked to review all pending death sentences in order to ensure that those convicted in flawed trials will have a fair retrial. Members called on the VP/HR to condemn the alarming number of recent executions in Egypt, and urged the European External Action Service (EEAS) and the Member States to continue to fight the use of the death penalty.
