Amnesty International called upon the Egyptian Government not to enforce the new "Fighting Terrorism" Law which gives authority the power to torture and arbitrarily trial citizens. This is deemed a grieve violation of Human Rights under emergency law enforced since a long time ago. In a message for five Arab activists on direct war crimes committed under the slogan of fighting terrorism, and violating the international human law and the international legislation for human rights under the Israeli siege, they condemned repression and poverty which led to the appearance of some marginalized categories living on foreign finances and limiting its civil activities to a mere agenda. Should we remind that a large number of these centers has signed agreements on not to deal with US terrorist organizations. Sources
