Human Rights Watch Calls On U.S. To Suspend Military Aid To Egypt | Neon Tommy

Human Rights Watch called on the United States to suspend its military aid to Egypt amid mass violence and chaos in the Middle East, most notably in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Wednesday.

"The United States and the European Union should tell President Hosni Mubarak and Egypt's military commanders that the army's actions on February 2 [in Tahrir Square] raised serious doubts about its willingness to protect pro-democracy protestors from violent attacks, and that their failure to uphold fundamental human rights, including prohibitions on extrajudicial killings, torture and enforced disappearances, will prompt an immediate suspension of all military assistance," the organization said in a statement early Thursday morning.
