Rights group slams Egypt’s execution of 49 this month | THE DAILY STAR

A leading international human rights group Thursday condemned Egypt's execution of 49 people so far this month - some arrested during a deadly crackdown on a mass protest in 2013 - and urged authorities in Cairo to grant fair retrials to those on the death row.



Between Oct. 3 and 13, Egypt executed a total of 47 men and two women, according to statement issued by Human Rights Watch. 

The group said 15 of those executed had been convicted of involvement in political violence that followed the military overthrow in July 2013 of Egypt’s first democratically elected president, Mohamed Morsi.
