HRW: 'Egyptians with blood on their hands welcome Mubarak's freeing'

The executive director of Human Rights Watch criticised the ruling that acquitted deposed Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak of charges relating to the murder of protesters during the January 25 Revolution.

“Of course #Egypt Pres [sic] Sisi wants to “look to the future,” not back–he allowed the murder of 817+ at Rabaa Square,” Ken Roth wrote on Twitter.

The head of the New York-based rights organisation added: “Understandable #Egypt’ians with blood on their hands like Pres [sic] Sisi welcome Mubarak’s freeing.”

“#Egypt courts are filled with excuses for Mubarak but are ever so vigilant to prosecute whoever criticizes them,” he wrote on Monday.

“Mubarak freeing is going down well w/ [with] other leaders who fear justice for crimes- like Saudis,” he added.
