What happens between France and Egypt

All the news in relations between Egypt and France. The article by Giuseppe Gagliano

Despite the parliamentary interpellations on the case of Egyptian extrajudicial executions that Al Sis allegedly carried out thanks to the collaboration with Egypt that was dealt with by the French investigative journalism website Disclose , the French defense minister – in addition to having denied the allegations that it was moved – it has launched an investigation as required by French law to identify the person – or those – who provided this information covered by military state secrecy to the French investigative site.

The real novelty – certainly relevant for this story – is linked to the fact that the Swiss Committee of NGOs was added to the Disclose requests, which on 21 December referred the matter to the United Nations special rapporteur on the promotion and protection of rights. human rights and fundamental freedoms in the fight against terrorism. Objective: to force the French state to assume its responsibilities.

In its request for an international investigation, consulted by Disclose , the Justice Commission invites the UN rapporteur to examine the links between the extrajudicial executions committed by Egypt and the responsibility of the French state under international law. The NGO calls for the creation of a "legal committee, with independent experts, resources and authorities to rapidly investigate all murders in the context of the Franco-Egyptian operation".
