IKRAM DENOUNCES THE EXECUTION OF MAHMOUD RAMADAN IN EGYPT
Pertubuhan
IKRAM Malaysia (IKRAM) is utterly appalled at the recent execution of
Mahmoud Ramadan by the Egyptian regime. We totally deplore this inhumane
and despicable act which went against the norms of international
justice.
Mahmoud
was one of those hundreds of people who were sentenced to death in mass
trials that were described as being far below acceptable international
standards of legal proceedings. In fact, the UN Human Rights chief at
that time condemned the trials as being obscene and a complete travesty
of justice.
Also
the African Union considered the trial proceedings a complete sham,
with a guilty conviction meted out without even calling for a proper
defence. They even sent a letter to the Head of Egyptian regime, Abdel
Fatteh al-Sisi, on 26 February 2015 to call for immediate suspension of
the death penalty of Mahmoud Ramadan.
However,
the reaction of the Egyptian regime to the letter, by executing Mahmoud
Ramadan showed that it had total disregard of the African Union and
international law. Other leading international lawyers also expressed
their disgust at this heinous act following wholesale unfair trials.
Hence,
we call upon the Malaysian government to condemn this atrocious act of
injustice and call for an immediate suspension of all death penalties
meted out during the outrageous court proceedings which made a mockery
of justice.
We
also call upon the international community to berate this diabolical
act of transgression of justice and to compel the Egyptian regime to
immediately suspend all death penalties.
