Torture 'systematic' in Egypt

Cairo, Egypt - Torture is "systematic" in Egypt and there is little legal recourse for its victims, an Egyptian human rights group said in a report issued on Sunday, demanding more legal protection for targeted individuals.

The Egyptian Organisation for Human Rights, in a report titled "Torture in Egypt, a practice with no deterrent", said 15 people have died as a result of torture in the last year, and a total of at least 120 in the past 10 years.

"Despite the Egyptian government saying that it intends to improve its human rights record and begin political reform, torture has not been tackled in its police stations, jails and prisons," the report said.

Individuals were being assaulted with "hands, feet, sticks, whips, cables and metal chains, tortured using hot water and electrocuted", as well as being subject to "sexual and immoral assaults".
