The New York-based rights group released a report on Monday, claiming Egypt has, since 2013, detained and abused children as young as 12 as part of a crackdown on dissent against the country’s military government.
The 43-page report states the crackdown and the use of torture against all detainees, especially minors, has weakened the rule of law in Egypt “to the point of extinction”, as prosecutors and judges exacerbated abuses through due process violations and unfair trials.
