En defensa de las vidas: despolitizando a las familias de los presos políticos en el Egipto de la post-revolución
Resumen
Desde 2917, el Comité de Justicia ha estado trabajando en el monitoreo y verificación de violaciones de derechos humanos dentro de las cárceles y lugares de detención egipcios, dentro de su proyecto «Detention Watch». Basado en los resultados de 10 entrevistas en profundidad con familiares de presos políticos mantenidas durante marzo y septiembre de 2022, este artículo presenta los casos de familias que son agentes sociales y económicos activos e inactivos que representan diferentes grupos de la población egipcia. Y se centra en el impacto de las violaciones de derechos humanos en la despolitización de los familiares de los presos políticos –esposas, padres e hijos– y en cómo esto afectó sus esfuerzos para superar las dificultades económicas, así como en sus actitudes con respecto a la migración, la protesta y la reconciliación política con el régimen. Con ello, el artículo trata de explorar los resultados personales, económicos, sociales y políticos de la represión, y cómo esto ha llevado a una mayor despolitización entre las personas que se ven afectadas indirectamente por violaciones de derechos humanos.
