State Information Services (SIS) described the latest report by 'Human Rights Watch' (HRW) on the ongoing security operations in Sinani as unfounded and full of 'fabrications and propagation of lies'.
In its official response on the report of HRW, SIS considered that the organization is, once again, circulating lies regarding the human rights situation in Egypt.
"This comes in a long pattern of false information HRW has attributed to the situation in Egypt, as in September 2017 HRW issued a report alleging 19 cases of torture in Egyptian prisons without providing any real evidence, this despite numerous calls we made on HRW to submit such any actual evidence they have to the Egyptian Public Prosecutors office which in turn investigated those allegations and found that they were not true after a lengthy probe," SIS response read.
SIS noted to the year 2018 when HRW issued a variety of unfounded statements and report on the situation in Egypt including one on Khaled Hassan (a defendant being prosecuted for his affiliation with 'Wilayat Sina’a' an affiliate of ISIS) whom they claimed was subjected to enforced disappearance and torture only to find out later that their claims carried no veracity whatsoever.
SIS affirmed that HRW remain "faithful to its foul habits regarding its questionable coverage of Egypt" and issues another report on May 28th, 2019 regarding the situation in Northern Sinai. The latest report carried a multitude of false allegations and it was based on sources lacking any credibility. These sources were mainly based on entities that are in a state of constant enmity with the Egyptian State.
The official response by SIS confirmed that the content of the report included many alleged cases that are entirely unsupported by any real evidence, as if this report was meant to only be read by amateurs.
A detailed comprehensive response in 11 pages to the report which asses the allegations made by HRW was prepared by the Human Rights Unit of the State Information Service.
With regards to the interviews, the report claimed that 54 interview were conducted with local residents from the Sinai without clarifying many essential information to validate their truthfulness .
In addition, HRW’s report claims that the researchers who authored it reviewed medical and legal documents however serious questions arise after reviewing the actual report, its cited sources and appendix.
On other hand, the report posted a number of pictures and SIS has number of observations regarding them.
