Torture is routine in Egyptian police stations and detention facilities. It is often used to extract ‘confessions’ which then become ‘evidence’ in sham trials. Among the cases we’ll be highlighting this weekend are those of the young men condemned to death and to life in jail by a military court last month. Our governments are complicit in these injustices and abuses. That’s why we’ll be focussing on the role of European governments in selling arms and making security deals with the Egyptian regime.
