Abuse of Travel Bans in Egypt

This joint report produced by the Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy (TIMEP) and the Freedom Initiative (Fi) documents and investigates Egyptian authorities’ use of politically motivated travel bans and travel-related restrictions. The report maps out the ambiguous legal context in which unlawful bans and restrictions are imposed, the byzantine processes that individuals subject to travel bans and their lawyers must navigate to solicit information about and challenge bans, and the devastating toll that these bans have on the personal and professional lives of those targeted and their loved ones.
