Egypt

To reduce the number of killings, an Egyptian court has called for the law to be amended to allow live broadcasts of the executions of student killers on Sunday.

 Last month, Mohamed Adel was convicted of the “planned murder” of student Nayera Ashraf, who turned down his offer.

The nobility was convicted by a criminal court in Mansoura, 130 km north of Cairo.

 He asked legislators to revise the death penalty law so that executions could be broadcast live.

The court said in a letter to Congress that “the broadcast, even if only part of the start of proceedings, could achieve the goal of deterrence, which was not achieved by broadcasting the sentencing itself.”

 When a video of Ashraf being stabbed to death in front of a university in Mansour in June went viral, Egyptians reacted badly online.

Egypt, which had the third-highest number of executions in the world in 2021, uses the death penalty as the death penalty for murder, according to Amnesty International.

However, executions are rarely carried out or broadcast publicly. The execution in 1998 of three men for killing a woman and two children in their home in Cairo was a rare case that was broadcast on state television.

The genocide of women in Egypt has caused great outrage in recent months. The death of TV presenter  Shaimaa Gamal in June caused a stir in North African countries.

 In March, a teenager was sentenced to five years in prison for suicide of a girl after a photo of the girl was posted online.

Patriarchal laws and a strict interpretation of Islam in Egypt make it difficult for women to exercise their rights. A 2015 UN study found that nearly 8 million Egyptian women have been victims of violence by partners, family members or strangers in public.
