Case Head Notes: The Complaint is submitted against the Arab Republic of Egypt (Respondent state), State party to the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights (The African charter). The complaints allege that police, dressed in civilian clothing, raided the victims house on October 19 2016. This raid resulted in an arrest of the victim. The victim was then taken to the state security investigations services to be interrogated without the presence of her lawyer. The complainants allege that during the interrogation, the victim was sexually harassed and threatened with rape. Whilst in the detention center, the victim was subjected to psychological and physical torture. On October 20th, 2016, the victim was brought before the court without legal representation and was denied to right to defend herself. The victim’s detention has been renewed on numerous occasions which prohibits her from caring for her children.
