“Both Egypt’s and Libya’s human rights records will come under intense scrutiny by the UN Human Rights Council in 2010.

Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director
(Cairo, Egypt) – Egypt should revoke its draconian Emergency Law and revamp its abusive security forces as top priorities in 2010, Human Rights Watch said today in its comprehensive World Report 2010. Libya should free unjustly detained prisoners and reform laws that criminalize free speech and association, Human Rights Watch said.
