This document is intended to provide a brief overview of a number of pressing violations facing refugees and migrants in Egypt for consideration by the Committee on Migrant Workers in preparing the list of issues for the CWM’s 39thSession. This submission builds on the previous submission from the Global Detention Project in April 2017. In particular, this submission focuses on critical recent events in Egypt, which are spelled out in more detail in the attached Urgent Appeal concerning the treatment of Sudanese in Egypt that the Global Detention Project and the Committee for Justice issued in early 2024 concerning the detention and refoulement of Sudanese refugees in Egypt, as well as in the investigative article by the New Humanitarian “Inside Egypt’s secret scheme to detain and deport thousands of Sudanese refugees.”
