- Time for justice: Egypt's corrosive system of detention0.83 MB

Under the cover of the state of emergency, Egyptian state security forces, in particular the State Security Investigations service (SSI), committed gross human rights violations for which they have yet to be held to account. The SSI, operating above the law, presided over the regime of administrative detention, and became synonymous with the
crackdown on dissent and the torture of detainees. Amnesty International published this report.
