Amnesty International is very concerned that the German authorities may forcibly return the two Egyptian asylum-seekers, ‘Abd al-Akher Hammad and Muhi al-Din Ahmad ‘Abd al-Mun'im, and their families, possibly as early as today. Amnesty International believes that if returned to Egypt, they, and possibly members of their families, would be at grave risk of torture, unfair trial and other serious human rights violations.
