🔹 "من المبكر الحكم على جدية نية الرئيس بشأن عدم الاستمرار في السلطة، فهناك سنوات باقية، قد تحدث فيها تطوراتٌ قد تُستغل في اتجاه آخر. وحتى بافتراض جدّية هذه التصريحات، فإنها، ومن خلال ما تطرحه من برنامج لإعداد مرشحي الرئاسة، تؤشّر إلى حرص المؤسسة العسكرية أن تكون هي المحدّد لمن يحكم مصر مستقبلا، عسكريا كان أو مدنيا"

EuroMed Rights is concerned by the charges and allegations announced by Egypt’s Ministry of Interior against six journalists affiliated with the investigative journalism platform “Matasaddaash” (متصدقش), including allegations portraying the journalists and the platform as affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood.
In a public response, “Matasaddaash” rejected the allegations, stating that neither the platform nor its journalists have any affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood or any political organisation. The platform also disputed claims that it is operated from abroad or receives foreign funding, and provided examples of its work fact-checking claims and information associated with actors across the political spectrum.
EuroMed Rights calls for due process, transparency, and respect for journalists’ rights, including the right to carry out legitimate journalistic work without intimidation or arbitrary interference. Any allegations against journalists should be substantiated through transparent and fair legal procedures, with full respect for their rights and fundamental freedoms.

On 1–2 October, EuroMed Rights’ Working Group on Women’s Rights, Gender Justice and Individual Freedoms (WRJF) came together for its annual regional meeting, bringing members and partners from across the Euro-Mediterranean region around shared challenges and priorities.
Discussions addressed a range of pressing issues, including online gender-based violence, women and migration, shrinking civic space and the growing anti-gender and anti-rights backlash, the situation of Palestinian women, and access to justice.

"هناك مفارقة بين المدخل القانوني لهذا النزاع والواقع السياسي الجديد، والذي يصبّ في مصلحة المغرب. لكن أي حل لهذا النزاع لن يكون مستديماً من دون إشراك الجزائر وجبهة بوليساريو مع المغرب والمجتمع الدولي في صياغة توافقية وعادلة، تنهي عقوداً من نزاع أفضى إلى انقساماتٍ حادة بين الدول العربية في شمال أفريقيا"

I am deeply concerned by the arrest of six journalists from the independent media outlet @matsda2sh in Egypt, with no information provided about their whereabouts or situation.
Journalism is not a crime.
I call on the Egyptian authorities to release them immediately.

Another milestone in addressing transnational repression must be translated into effective protection and accountability measures.
The Egyptian Human Rights Forum welcomes the joint statement issued by more than 130 UN human rights experts, which provides a common UN definition of transnational repression as acts conducted or directed by a State, or its proxy, to deter, silence, or punish dissent, criticism, or human rights advocacy expressed from outside its territory.
The statement reflects growing momentum within the UN human rights system. It follows the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention’s report examining the relationship between transnational repression and arbitrary deprivation of liberty.
The Working Group stressed that extradition requests and international criminal and police cooperation must be subject to genuine judicial oversight, public hearings, and full procedural guarantees. It also affirmed that trials in absentia without the possibility of an in-person retrial, arbitrary deprivation of nationality, and the criminalisation of peaceful activities abroad cannot lawfully form the basis for arrest, detention, extradition, or deportation.
These developments closely reflect EHRF’s documentation since its 2024 joint report on the targeting of Egyptian human rights defenders in the diaspora and its second annual report, “Wherever They Go.”
EHRF’s database now contains 119 verified cases involving Egyptians targeted across at least 17 countries. Documented patterns include the denial of identity documents and consular services, reprisals against relatives, prosecutions and trials in absentia, digital threats, and attempted extraditions or forced returns.
EHRF also welcomes the release of Egyptian-Turkish poet and writer Abdulrahman Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, his safe return to Türkiye, and his reunion with his family. We also welcome the release of Saudi human rights defender Abdulrahman Al-Khalidi after nearly five years of administrative detention in Bulgaria.
Both cases demonstrate that the resilience of victims and their families, legal action, sustained advocacy, and international pressure can achieve tangible results. However, releasing individuals does not erase the violations they suffered or absolve the responsible authorities of accountability.
Growing international recognition of transnational repression must now be translated into legislation, effective protection and reporting mechanisms, scrutiny of extradition and international police cooperation, remedies for victims, and accountability for perpetrators.

📌نشرت الجبهة المصرية لحقوق الإنسان اليوم تقريرًا بعنوان: " #اللجنة_العليا_الدائمة_لحقوق_الإنسان في ثماني سنوات: كثير من العلاقات العامة مع غياب الإصلاح المؤسسي" والذي يهدف لفهم كيف طورت الدولة إدارتها للملف الحقوقي من خلال اللجنة العليا الدائمة لحقوق الإنسان، حيث سعى التقرير لتحديد أولوياتها وخطابها الرسمي حول حقوق الإنسان، وتحديد موقع اللجنة في البنية المؤسسية وأدائها في التفاعل مع الالتزامات الدولية كما في آلية الاستعراض الدوري الشامل. كما سعت الدراسة للوقوف على حدود ما استحدثته اللجنة في بنية إدارة ملف حقوق الإنسان منذ إنشائها في عام 2018.
خلال العقد الأخير، شهد ملف حقوق الإنسان في مصر تحولات مؤسسية ملحوظة في الكيفية التي تدير بها الدولة علاقتها بالقضايا الحقوقية وبالمنظومة الدولية المعنية بها، فقد اتجهت الدولة إلى تطوير عدد من الأطر والآليات المؤسسية المعنية بإدارة الملف الحقوقي؛ كان أبرزها إنشاء اللجنة العليا الدائمة لحقوق الإنسان بموجب قرار رئيس مجلس الوزراء رقم 2396 لسنة 2018.
جاء إنشاء اللجنة في إطار مسار أوسع لإعادة تنظيم إدارة الدولة للملف الحقوقي خارجيًا بالأساس، مع جهود محلية لخدمة ذلك الغرض. في ظل هذه الهيكلة، أُسند للجنة منذ تأسيسها اختصاصات واسعة للتعامل مع العلاقات الخارجية والدبلوماسية لملف حقوق الإنسان من بينها متابعة تنفيذ التوصيات الدولية، وإعداد التقارير الوطنية المقدمة إلى آليات الأمم المتحدة، واقتراح تدابير تشريعية للوفاء بهذه الالتزامات، وإعداد الاستراتيجية الوطنية لحقوق الإنسان ومتابعة تنفيذها.
بهذا الإنشاء الحكومي للجنة العليا الدائمة لحقوق الإنسان، أُضيف فاعل مؤسسي جديد إلى منظومة إدارة حقوق الإنسان في مصر إلى جانب المجلس القومي لحقوق الإنسان، والتي دفعت اختصاصاتها الواسعة والتي تجمع بين الدبلوماسي/ الخارجي والمحلي نحو هيمنة اللجنة على منظومة حقوق الإنسان في مصر، وتحولها لمركز صنع القرار الرئيسي في هذا الملف، والتي تركت بالتبعية بصمتها على أولويات ملف حقوق الإنسان وطريقة العمل والنتائج المستهدفة.
منهجيًا، اعتمدت هذه الدراسة على رصد وتحليل للوثائق الرسمية الصادرة عن اللجنة العليا الدائمة لحقوق الإنسان منذ إنشائها وحتى عام 2025، بما في ذلك قرارات الإنشاء، والاستراتيجية الوطنية لحقوق الإنسان، وتقارير المتابعة الدورية، والتقارير الموضوعية المتخصصة، والدوريات الصادرة عن اللجنة، والبيانات الرسمية، والأنشطة الرسمية للجنة، إضافة إلى الوثائق المقدمة إلى آلية الاستعراض الدوري الشامل ووثائق الأمم المتحدة التي تولت اللجنة مسؤولية إعدادها.

EuroMed Rights has joined a joint statement led by ILGA-Europe condemning the large-scale police raids and detentions targeting LGBTI+ activists, human rights defenders, organisations and community spaces across Türkiye.
At least 162 people have reportedly been detained, including dozens of LGBTI+ activists and human rights defenders. The raids, alongside restrictions on LGBTI+ organisations’ websites and social media accounts, the seizure of sensitive digital information and scrutiny of international funding, represent a deeply concerning escalation in the repression of LGBTI+ civil society and shrinking civic space.

On 12 September, Turkish authorities launched coordinated raids across 15 provinces, with 162 people reportedly subjected to judicial proceedings, including LGBTQI+ activists, human rights defenders and members of civil society organisations.
EuroMed Rights is concerned by this crackdown and the targeting of LGBTQI+ organisations and human rights defenders under the operation of “My Family is Safe”.
We call for the immediate release of those detained, an end to the raids and restrictions on civil society, and full protection of the sensitive personal data of people living with HIV and LGBTQI+ people.
12 EYLÜL ZİHNİYETİNİN “AİLEM GÜVENDE” OPERASYONU: HAK ÖRGÜTLERİNE YÖNELİK SİYASİ TASFİYEYE SON VERİN!
12 Eylül askerî darbesinin yıl dönümünde LGBTİ+örgütlerinin, gazetecilerin ve hak savunucularının hesaplarına erişim engeli getirilmiş; aynı gece saat 01.00’den itibaren çok sayıda kentte eş zamanlı baskınlar başlatılmıştır.
Kaos GL’nin asıl ve yedek yönetim ve denetim kurulu üyeleri evlerinden alınmış; SPoD’un geçmişte görev yapmış kurucuları, Pembe Hayat Yönetim Kurulu Başkanı gözaltına alınmıştır. Ayrıca Mersin 7 Renk ve Muamma derneği üyeleri ve aralarında bizim de üyelerimizin bulunduğu birçok LGBTİ+ aktivisti gözaltına alınmıştır. İstanbul’da dernek kapıları çilingirle açılmış, LGBTİ+’ların gittiği mekânlar basılmıştır.
Bakanlık açıklamasına göre 15 ilde 162 kişi, dokuz dernek ve 13 işletme hakkında işlem yapılmaktadır. Ayrıca, İstanbul şube çalışanı ve Listag gönüllüsü üyemiz de ailesi ile birlikte jandarma tarafından gözaltına alınmış ve İstanbul LGBTİ+ komisyon üyemizin de evine jandarma gitmiştir.
HIV alanında çalışan, test ve tedaviye erişim ile damgalanmanın önlenmesi yoluyla kamu sağlığını koruyan Pozitif-iz ve Pozitif Yaşam derneklerinin de listede bulunduğu; Pozitif-iz Derneği’nin Denetim Kurulu üyelerinin gözaltına alındığı belirtilmektedir. HIV’i LGBTİ+ kimliğiyle, “ahlaksızlıkla” veya suçla özdeşleştiren bu yaklaşım bilim dışı olduğu kadar tehlikelidir.
Bu derneklerin hedef alınması, insanları test ve tedaviden uzaklaştırır, kamu sağlığını tehdit eder ve HIV ile yaşayanların son derece hassas kişisel verilerini devlet müdahalesine açık hâle getirir.
Bu tablo bir adli soruşturma değil; “aileyi ve çocukları koruma” söylemi üzerinden toplumu tekçi bir aile modeline zorlayan, LGBTİ+’ları ve bağımsız sivil toplumu tasfiye etmeyi amaçlayan siyasi bir operasyondur. “Örgüt kurma”, “uyuşturucu”, “fuhuş” ve “müstehcenlik” gibi ilgisiz suçlamaların aynı torbaya doldurulması, gerçeği ortaya çıkarmaya değil bütün bir topluluğu suçlu göstermeye hizmet etmektedir.
12 Eylül’ün dernekleri kapatan, yayınları yasaklayan ve farklı olanı düşmanlaştıran devlet aklı bugün “Ailem Güvende” adıyla sürdürülmektedir. Adalet Bakanı’nın devam eden soruşturmalar hakkında peşinen suçluluk ilan eden ve nefret söylemi üreten açıklamaları kabul edilemez. Yargı, iktidarın toplum mühendisliği ve ayrımcılık politikalarının aracı değildir.
Gözaltındaki hak savunucuları derhal serbest bırakılmalı; baskınlara son verilmeli, erişim engelleri kaldırılmalı ve el konulan materyaller iade edilmelidir. HIV ile yaşayanlara ve LGBTİ+’lara ait hassas veriler güvence altına alınmalıdır. Adalet Bakanı ayrımcı açıklamalarını geri çekmelidir.
Bu operasyonun gerçek adı “Ailem Güvende” değil; devlet eliyle ayrımcılık, korku siyaseti ve sivil toplumun tasfiyesidir.
LGBTİ+’ların, HIV ile yaşayanların ve hak savunucularının yanındayız!
12 Eylül zihniyetine teslim olmayacağız!

One month after the arrival of approximately 72,000 people in #Ceuta on 30 and 31 July 2026, nearly 5,000 people, including 1,200 minors, remain trapped in the Spanish enclave in extremely precarious conditions.
The humanitarian crisis is now accompanied by an unprecedented rise in racist violence and xenophobic and Islamophobic rhetoric targeting migrants, both locally and across the continent.
In response to this worsening crisis, EuroMed Rights expresses its deep concern over the alarming surge in hate speech, the growing polarization of society, and the increase in violence targeting migrants in Ceuta and across Europe.

يمثل صدور العفو خبرًا طال انتظاره لعبدالرحمن وأسرته وبناته، وكذلك لكل من عمل ودافع من أجل حريته خلال الأشهر الماضية.
وندعو إلى التنفيذ الفوري والكامل لقرار العفو، وضمان إطلاق سراح عبدالرحمن دون تأخير وتمكينه من العودة بأمان إلى أسرته.
نأمل أن تكتمل الفرحة قريبًا بخروجه وعودته إلى أحبائه.

EHRF welcomes the presidential pardon issued in the United Arab Emirates for Egyptian-Turkish poet and writer Abdulrahman Yusuf Al-Qaradawi.
The decision comes more than a year and a half after Abdulrahman was arrested in Lebanon on 28 December 2024 and extradited to the UAE on 8 January 2025, where he has remained in detention since.
The pardon is long-awaited news for Abdulrahman, his family and daughters, and for everyone who has advocated for his freedom over the past months.
We call for the immediate and full implementation of the pardon, Abdulrahman’s release without delay, and his safe return to his family.
We hope that very soon this long-awaited news will be completed by his release and reunion with his loved ones.

The UK Supreme Court today dismissed an appeal by Bahrain, which has been claiming state immunity against a long running lawsuit on the use of spyware.
Two political activists, Saeed Shehabi and Moosa Mohammed filed a lawsuit against Bahrain for allegedly suffering psychological harm after their laptops were infected with FinSpy spyware while they were in the UK, in an operation they believe was authorized and directed by the Bahraini government. Finspy is a commercial spyware produced by the now defunct Munich-based company FinFisher GMBH. It has been used against journalists and activists in several countries around the world.
The UK Supreme Court ruled that the remote infection of devices from abroad constitutes an ‘act in the UK’, thus opening new avenues for justice and sending a signal that tech-enabled transnational repression will no longer be tolerated.
This ruling provides the two activists with clarity and a clear legal pathway to pursue justice in UK courts. Governments may no longer be able to hide behind state immunity.
Let this serve as a stark warning that the unlawful cross-border use of invasive surveillance technologies to target human rights defenders will face legal action.
