Commenting on the latest executions, Reprieve Director Maya Foa<\/strong>, said: \u201cAs these latest executions show, President el-Sisi\u2019s use of the death penalty is now a full-blown human rights crisis. Executions have spiked – bringing the total number to 15 in just two weeks – amid widespread abuses including gross due process violations, torture, false confessions and the repeated use of mass trials. It is shocking that these abuses continue unabated while the international community remains silent.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n
