25 June 2021 :

The Egyptian government executed eight people on 21 June 2021 bringing the total number of people hanged this year alone to 57, according to the NGO Reprieve.
The news comes shortly after Egypt's court of appeal upheld the death penalty for 12 members of the Muslim Brotherhood who had been convicted in the Rabaa sit-in case.
Between 2018 and 2020 Egypt carried out at least 241 executions with 152 of these being carried out in 2020.
Since 2011 at least 17 children have received the death sentence, which is against Egyptian child law.
There are some 60,000 political prisoners in Egypt who are systematically tortured, denied medical care and kept in squalid conditions.
There are 60 people at risk of imminent execution.
