Reprisals Follow Reports on Gaza Border Activity\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Egyptian authorities and affiliated groups have responded to recent reporting by the Sinai Foundation for Human Rights, an Egyptian human rights group with a focus on Egypt\u2019s militarized North Sinai, with a smear campaign and threats against the group and its director, Ahmed Salem, 18 civil society organizations denounced today.<\/p>\n

Since mid-February 2024, several government and pro-government figures and entities have engaged in an aggressive smear campaign against the Sinai Foundation and Salem on television, in newspapers, and social media. Salem, a United Kingdom-based Egyptian human rights activist, said that, through intermediaries close to Egyptian authorities, he received threats that he \u201cwould be brought back to Egypt\u201d if he did not drop his work. One of these threats, through a government-appointed Sinai local clan leader, warned that Salem \u201cis not far from reach even abroad.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Egyptian authorities should immediately end the threats against the Sinai Foundation for Human Rights and its director Ahmed Salem,\u201d said Seth Binder, Advocacy Director, Middle East Democracy Center. \u201cThe Egyptian authorities should ensure the safety of his family in Egypt, and end their smear campaigns and the relentless, years-long crackdown on human rights groups and independent organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n

On February 14, 2024, the Sinai Foundation\u00a0issued a report<\/a>\u00a0based on witness\u00a0accounts<\/a>, photographs and\u00a0videos<\/a>\u00a0about the Egyptian authorities\u2019 hurried construction of a fortified zone on the border with Gaza and Israel in Egypt\u2019s North Sinai which it reported was \u201cfor the purpose of receiving refugees from Gaza in case of a collective displacement\u201d as a result of the ongoing armed conflict in Gaza. The report has been\u00a0widely covered<\/a>\u00a0by major international\u00a0news agencies<\/a> and\u00a0newspapers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Salem said that, since February 15, 2024, according to two sources in North Sinai, the Egyptian military has increased patrols and checkpoints in the area, stopping residents and construction workers, and looking into the contents of their mobile phones in an attempt to intimidate locals and prevent reporting about the construction work of the fortified zone.<\/p>\n

On February 17, 2024, a prominent pro-government television anchor and a\u00a0member\u00a0of the government\u2019s\u00a0Supreme Media Regulatory Council,<\/a>\u00a0which plays a\u00a0leading role in censorship<\/a>\u00a0and the government\u2019s crackdown on independent reporting, described Salem on the pro-government TEN television as an agent linked to terrorist groups and the Israeli Mossad among other allegations presented without evidence.<\/p>\n

The official X (formerly Twitter) account of the Sinai Tribal Union, the main pro-army militia group in Egypt\u2019s North Sinai,\u00a0described<\/a>, on February 16, the Sinai Foundation, without naming it, and independent reports, as efforts by conspirators to \u201cspread poison against the Egyptian State.\u201d Several pro-government pages<\/a>\u00a0on X and Facebook published photographs of Salem with similar allegations.<\/p>\n

Satellite images of the border area captured between the 5th and the 19th of February and analysed by Amnesty International\u2019s Evidence Lab show the clearing of land and construction of a new wall.<\/p>\n

By 19 February 2024, satellite imagery shows approximately 15 sqkm of vegetation has been scraped.

Long lines of trucks continue to sit at the Rafah crossing and it appears many have gathered in the northwest corner of the area scraped. \u00a9 2024 Plant Labs, Inc.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Meanwhile, the Egyptian government has launched a\u00a0public relations exercise\u00a0<\/a>to deny the news about building camps for Palestinians in Sinai. On February 16, 2024,Egypt\u2019s State Information Service\u00a0denied in an official statement<\/a>\u00a0that the government was preparing to receive Palestinians in Sinai and said that such reports \u201cgive a wrong impression, falsely propagated by some, that Egypt is participating in the crime of (forced) deportation that some parties in Israel have been advocating for.\u201d<\/p>\n

For over a decade, the government of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has used media\u00a0smear campaigns<\/a>\u00a0to intimidate human rights activists and discredit their work as part of a\u00a0multifaceted campaign<\/a>\u00a0to obliterate Egypt\u2019s once vibrant civic space. Those campaigns have often been led by television anchors who are close to government and security circles or hold official positions, and have included aggressive forms of disinformation and statements that in some cases include\u00a0incitement to violence<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0threats of harm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Such campaigns have frequently involved\u00a0transnational repression<\/a>,\u00a0targeting<\/a>\u00a0human rights defenders based outside Egypt,\u00a0including by<\/a>\u00a0 harassment, arbitrary\u00a0 arrests, prolonged detentions and\u00a0prosecutions of family members<\/a>\u00a0of those living in exile. Despite living in the United Kingdom with his wife and children, Salem expressed fear that the authorities could target his family members in Egypt. The United Nations special rapporteur on human rights defenders, Mary Lawlor,\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0on February 22 that she \u201curge(s) the Egyptian government to ensure his (Salem) & his family\u2019s safety.\u201d The Egyptian government should heed this call and prevent any retaliation against Salem\u2019s family members, the organizations said.<\/p>\n

The Sinai Foundation has been one of the main independent, credible sources of information about developments in North Sinai, where the Egyptian government forces, mainly\u00a0the military, have battled<\/a>\u00a0armed militants of Wilayat Sina\u2019 (Sinai Province), an armed group that pledged allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS) in 2014. Both the military and ISIS militants\u00a0have committed serious abuses,<\/a>\u00a0some of which amount to war crimes according to Human Rights Watch, but the armed clashes remained largely hidden due to Egyptian military restrictions on reporting.<\/p>\n

Under the pretext of battling this armed group, Egyptian security forces\u00a0have displaced tens of thousands<\/a>\u00a0of North Sinai residents and\u00a0imposed restrictions<\/a>\u00a0on the movement of people and goods, which have brought commercial and economic activity, for several years, to a near halt. According to Human Rights Watch\u2019s\u00a0research<\/a>, thousands of North Sinai residents have been subjected to mass arbitrary arrests, enforced disappearances, abduction, torture, and extrajudicial killings. Since then, North Sinai has turned into a closed military zone under a tight government media siege to prevent the flow of information and curtail access to journalists and independent observers.<\/p>\n

Even though the military has apparently\u00a0been able to largely eradicate<\/a>Wilayt Sina\u2019, and its attacks have almost ceased since 2022, the region effectively remains a closed military zone where independent reporting has been severely restricted.\u00a0Massive home demolitions, farmland destruction and forced evictions<\/a>\u00a0by the military in border and non-border areas have been among the main grievances of the local population. The fortified zone currently being built by the Egyptian government includes some of the\u00a0areas<\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0where the local population had been forcibly evicted.<\/p>\n

The Egyptian authorities should immediately halt reprisals against critics living abroad and end its zero-tolerance policy of independent reporting which is effectively criminalizing freedom of association and expression and human rights work. The Egyptian authorities should also immediately allow independent journalists and independent civil society to work freely in Sinai, and report on the grievances of its residents following a decade of military operations hidden from public scrutiny as well as any impact of cross-border developments on the ongoing armed conflict in Gaza.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of intensifying its chokehold on reporting in Sinai, the government should ensure that the human rights abuses committed during a decade of military operations there are independently investigated, including those bravely documented by the Sinai Foundation for Human Rights,\u201d Adam Coogle, Deputy Middle East and North Africa Director at Human Rights Watch said.<\/p>\n
