Members of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood unlawfully detained and abused at least 49 anti-government protestors outside the Presidential Palace last week as security forces stood by, Human Rights Watch said.
The New York-based research and advocacy group called on Egypt’s public prosecutor to open an investigation into the incident, which it said was documented by numerous videos and eyewitness testimonies, in a report released today. It laid the blame on President Mohamed Mursi and his supporters.
