| Cover of the report |
This 79-page
report documents how, since 2010, Egyptian traffickers have tortured Eritreans
for ransom in the Sinai Peninsula, including through rape, burning, and
mutilation. It also documents torture by traffickers in eastern Sudan and 29
incidents in which victims told Human Rights Watch that Sudanese and Egyptian
security officers facilitated trafficker abuses rather than arresting them and
rescuing their victims. Egyptian officials deny there are trafficker abuses in
Sinai, allowing it to become a safe haven for traffickers.
