UN deplores Tahrir Square rapes, demands action

UN officials deplored reports that 25 women were sexually assaulted during protests in Cairo's Tahrir Square and demanded that Egyptian authorities take steps to bring the perpetrators to justice.

 

The executive director of the UN Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women said the agency "is deeply disturbed by the gravity of recent attacks against women." Michelle Bachelet called on Egyptian authorities to protect women and punish those responsible for the attacks. (AP)
