On 16 September, Cairo city government officials are expected to close a non-governmental organization, the Association of Human Rights and Legal Aid (AHRLA), which is based in the city. By closing down AHRLA, the authorities are violating freedom of association and preventing torture victims from receiving valuable independent advice and legal aid.
