An Amnesty International fact-finding team is in Egypt and available for interview.

The team is in Egypt investigating human rights violations committed against protesters in demonstrations in Cairo, Alexandria and elsewhere. It also plans to monitor any human rights violations around the elections, currently scheduled to start on Monday.

Earlier this week (22 November), Amnesty published a report - Broken Promises: Egypt’s Military rulers erode human rights - documenting a catalogue of abuses by the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces which in some cases exceeds the record of Hosni Mubarak
