Disturbing reports that #Egypt executed 23 people yesterday, including 15 political prisoners. Working to verify details. The US state dept went batshit condemning unjust execution of Iranian wrestler; will it condemn this by its “ally” Egypt?

The US rushed through new sanctions on Iranian officials involved in Navid Afkari’s unjust execution. It “mourned” his death and condemned the unfair trials. It specifically sanctioned the judges too:

I’m holding my breath to see @SecPompeo condemn these executions in #egypt where justice is a mockery, torture endemic, political prisoners flooding prisons. Here are a few Egyptian culprits who are the counterparts to their sanctioned brothers in Iran:

Judge Mohamed Sherin Fahmy, head of “terrorism” court used to prosecute political activists in Kafkaesque endlessly renewed “pretrial detentions”:

Here’s a real horror: Judge Moataz Khafagy, who has sentenced so many Egyptians to death after grossly unfair trials:

The real majordomo of the entire rotten edifice of sham justice in Egypt, the one who keeps bringing fantastic charges against activists, lawyers, actors, artists, journalists? This dude, Judge Hamada Elsayed Mohamed Abdel Fattah Elsawy:

While the State Dept sanctions the Iranian henchmen, it rolls out red carpet for Egyptian ones. Just last year Attorney General Barr feted Egypt’s former public prosecutor Nabil Sadek,who oversaw arrest &pretrial detention of 1000s of peaceful activists:

This grotesque #Saudi judge, Saudi Judge Abdulaziz bin Medawi al-Jaber, responsible for the execution of 15 Shia protesters, beheading one of them, then got to go on a fancy tour of our Supreme Court - details here:
