forces during their dealings with detainees or with those who had arrested.

under torture and threat to confess of possessing weapons and fireworks and that he put it in the room of
former faculty dean, "Syed Shahab", The detainee from over a year ago in the case known in the media as " The
Great Escape"
Ahmed said in his letter the circumstances of his detention and said that him and one of his colleagues was
tortured and threatened with sexual assault, in a clear disregard of human rights and the international
9
conventions and local laws by the security services which force the detainees to admit certain charges under
torture and threats.
A message from Al Motaaz Bellah Ghanem, second year student at the Faculty of Commerce, Mansura
University, has been published in January 9, which narrated in it what happened with him since his detention
three months before the publication date of this message, that he had been tortured to force him to admit the
murder of advisor Mahmoud El Said AlMerly's son, the advisor in Cairo Court of Appeal, and to admit that some
other detainees participated with him in these crimes.
Al Motaaz, confirmed that he remained silent for the past three months because the officers threatened him
with his family if he told anyone about what happened to him, but when they forced him to admit that other
detainees participated with him in crimes, he decided to talk.

Third section: Referring to military trails
The Egyptian President is now in power, Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi extending the competence of military courts, after he issued a presidential decree, last October, that allows the Army to protect and secure public facilities and vital state with the police and to refer the attackers to military courts, which led to increased the number of civilians who referred to military courts especially students. The decision to expand the terms of reference of military courts contrary to international and Egyptian law , and this was confirmed by the Egyptian Constitution that "the punishment is personal, and " there is no crime and no punishment except upon law ", which requires identification of crimes and punishments clearly which commensurate with the generality and abstraction of legal basis , which the Egyptian legislator transgressed in the martial law, as its texts came vague and non-specific to physical act for many of the crimes stipulated. It also violates the decision of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, which provided in Article VII of it that: "All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination.", where the referral to military justice considered a discrimination against civilians. The first semester has witnessed a rise in the number of students referred to military trials, in numbers, during the past two months, close to 99 students, 74 of them were tried in their presence, and 25 in absentia. The following table shows the number of students referred to military courts in some universities: -
