lpv:translated text	"Mr President, like others before me, I also strongly condemn the ongoing crackdown on international and national human rights and pro-democracy organisations in Egypt. Let us be clear: this is a way to silence voices that are critical of the ongoing human rights violations. These attacks constitute a severe violation of the right of freedom of association, as set out in Article 22 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The army and the Egyptian Government should immediately put an end to all forms of harassment or intimidation to which civil society organisations are subjected – whether directly or indirectly – and, in particular, should drop all criminal charges and stop the current media campaign against NGOs. This is why we have to urge the High Representative to be vocal on the necessity for the Egyptian authorities to adopt a new association law based on international human rights standards and in close consultation with NGOs and human rights and pro-democracy groups. We must also call for an independent, transparent and thorough investigation into the events of the Port Said stadium clashes which took place on 1 February 2012, as well as into the reports of sexual assault of female protestors, including the so-called virginity tests and death threats against female protestors."@en1
