In this article, @HenishHalem and I examine Egypt’s problematic asylum law. While the law appears to align with Egypt's international obligations, a closer look at its provisions reveals serious risks that jeopardize the rights of asylum seekers and refugees in the country.
NEW: Egypt’s new asylum law sparks criticism amid concerns that certain provisions grant Egyptian authorities sweeping powers, potentially violating refugees' and asylum seekers' rights. TIMEP's @OKurdali and @HenishHalem analyze the law's key flaws.

أنهم ليسو مجرد أرقام، فوراء جدران الزنازين كان أحبابنا، و لكل منهم قصة ورواية. هذا ما سمعناه، ولايزال الآلاف مفقودين، وأهاليهم يبحثون عن أي معلومة تدل على مصيرهم أو مكان وجودهم الزميل في معهد التحرير @BaraaKhurfan يسلط الضوء على قصص جمعها من معتقلين ومعقتلات سابقين في سجون الأسد
بعد سقوط نظام الأسد، اختلطت فرحة التحرير بآلام آلاف العائلات التي ما زالت تبحث عن مفقوديها في وجوه المعتقلين والوثائق المبعثرة. هذه القصص التي جمعها @BaraaKhurfan، زميل معهد التحرير، ليست مجرد كلمات بل شهادات حية على الثمن الباهظ الذي دُفع من أجل الحرية.
