Egypt: End wave of home demolitions, forced evictions in Sinai amid media blackout | Amnesty International
"The scale of the forced evictions has been astonishing; the Egyptian
authorities have thrown more than 1,000 families out of their homes in
just a matter of days, flouting international and national law. Shocking
scenes have emerged of homes in Rafah being bulldozed and bombed, with
entire buildings reduced to piles of rubble and families forcibly
evicted," said Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, Amnesty International’s Deputy
Director for the Middle East and North Africa http://bit.ly/1tw0BVq
