Mohamed Anwar El-Sadat: Rehabilitation Centre Visits Reinforce Humane Standards, Review Inmate Complaints

Mohamed Anwar El-Sadat, deputy head of Egypt’s National Council for Human Rights, said inspection visits to correctional and rehabilitation centres aim to reinforce humane standards and examine inmates’ complaints.

The visits are carried out by council delegations and researchers at facilities across the country, he said.

El-Sadat highlighted humane treatment as a central purpose of the inspections, alongside scrutiny of concerns raised by people held in the centres.

His remarks framed the tours as part of the council’s oversight work, linking visits to detention facilities with the review of inmates’ grievances.
