| | Egypt: Human rights abuses by armed groups - Amnesty International |
 | | The massacre of 13 Coptic Christian from the same family in Sanabu near Dayrut (Asyut governorate) on 5 May 1992 by armed Islamists was seen as the key event that triggered a wave of political violence in the country[6]. |
| | Arrests were mostly concentrated in poor and densely populated districts of Cairo such as ‘Ain al-Shams and Imbaba, and in Upper Egypt, particularly in the Asyut and Minya governorates. |
| | The statement noted that the attack was in retaliation against the death sentences passed after a trial held in camera by a military court at the military barracks in Sidi Barrani on three members of al-Gama‘a al-Islamiya who were believed to be members of the Egyptian armed forces[4]. |
