| Subject: Egypt uses sex attacks to crush opposition: report Wed May 20, 2015 5:38 am | |
| Egyptian security forces have stepped up sexual attacks against detainees since the ouster of president Mohamed Morsi, using them as a "cynical political strategy" to crush opposition, a rights group has charged.
Mr Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected leader, was deposed in July 2013 by then army chief and now President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi after mass protests against his sole year in office.
Since his removal, a relentless government crackdown on dissent – mostly involving Morsi supporters – has left hundreds dead in street clashes and thousands jailed.
