Judges for Egypt: Judiciary subjected to greater carnage than under Nasser

The coordinator of the group Judges for Egypt, Mohamed Awad, said that Egypt’s judiciary is currently suffering carnage more severe, unfair and immoral than the Egyptian judicial system suffered in the days of President Gamal Abdel Nasser.

Awad highlighted that the fate of honourable judges under the military coup is either to be removed or rejected by the judicial authority. He stressed that while judicial carnage has been known in Egypt since the time of Nasser, continuing with Anwar Sadat and Hosni Mubarak, it has doubled under coup leader President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi.

He told Egypt’s Al-Masryoon newspaper that the current regime is one seeking revenge to punish the Egyptian people, targeting every honest citizen. He pointed out that the Egyptian judiciary has become a laughing stock around the world and a model for the return of medieval times.
