Egyptian citizens don\u2019t have any chance to get knowledge regarding the effects of climate change and the Egyptian authorities don\u2019t guarantee their fundamental rights to face these effects and raise their demands. That\u2019s a result of many repressive policies such as the security control of media outlets, restricting civil society activities, freezing the issuance of access to information law and declining independence of the judiciary.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Yasmin Omar, <\/b><b>UN and R<\/b><b>egional Mechanisms Manager, Committee for Justice said:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAddressing the environmental crises can not be utilized to greenwash the reputation of one of the worst abusers of human rights in the world. The world\u2019s solidarity with our demands created a unique momentum to center human rights in vital discussions during COP27 and to call on Egypt to take concrete steps to release rights detainees and open up civic space.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Agnes Callamard, Amnesty International\u2019s Secretary General said:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe stand in solidarity with brave Egyptians human rights defenders, who continue in their legitimate human rights work in the face of politically-motivated prosecutions, imprisonment, harassment, travel bans, and other impossible restrictions. A vibrant and free civil society is key to securing climate justice.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Tasneem Essop,\u00a0 Executive Director, Climate Action Network International<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHuman rights, including the freedoms of expression, protest and assembly, are the very essence of our struggle for climate justice. Climate action requires that we can raise our voice, speak truth to power, take to the streets in protest and challenge those in positions of authority and power to ensure that they take measures to protect the rights to health and a healthy environment, right to food, right to water and the right to life of those on the frontlines of the climate crisis. We stand in solidarity with all prisoners of conscience being detained without a fair trial and facing uncertain and indefinite prison terms. We call on the Egyptian government to release them all and establish a political environment that is respectful of basic human rights as established by the UN.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Neil Hicks, Senior Director for Advocacy, Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies (CIHRS)<\/b> <b>said:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere are no environmental rights without human rights. If governments' officials brush aside tens of thousands of political prisoners and a sealed shut civic space in Egypt, then they are also likely to dismiss the need for tangible environmental action during COP\u201c.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Ahmed Salem, of the Sinai Foundation for Human Rights said:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe Egyptian state must facilitate the return and compensation of the forcibly displaced from Sinai, stop expropriating their lands, homes, and resources. Sinai residents must have guarantees of their right to free movement, expression, organization and peaceful assembly. I also call on all attendees of the COP27, including activists, human rights defenders, and organizations in the field of environmental protection and human rights, to take into consideration the suffering of the inhabitants who live on the land where the conference hosted, the Sinai Peninsula.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a
