About the Rabaa 12

On June 14, Egypt’s high court upheld death sentences for 12 men, including senior leaders in the country’s political opposition. One month later, on July 15, the verdict was signed, meaning that all that stands between the men and execution is a sign from Sisi, and we fear this could be carried out at any time.

Time is running out

Egypt is second only to China and Iran as the world’s worst executioner. Over the past five years, the Egyptian judiciary has ordered hundreds of death sentences in politicized trials where defendants are not given a fair day in court. Pursuing these executions indicates the Egyptian government’s efforts to, quite literally, exterminate its political adversaries. Time is running out for these men—but it’s not too late!

Hello, I am writing to urge you to speak against the imminent execution of 12 of Egypt’s political opposition members after a flawed trial.

The only thing standing between these men and execution is a sign from President Sisi, who has made clear he sees them as enemies of the state.

We give $1.3 billion to Egypt annually, and we must demand respect for rights. I urge your office to:
1. Reach out to the State Department to register concerns and demand action NOW to protect these innocent lives.
2. Reach out to the Egyptian Embassy in Washington DC to express grave concerns and pledge support for explicit conditions on future aid to Egypt if the executions are not halted.
3. Publicly condemn the executions and call for an immediate moratorium before it is too late.

As your constituent, it is important to me that you take action on this extremely urgent matter. We must hold Egypt accountable. Please confirm that you will act. Thank you.
