App to combat enforced disappearance launched in Egypt
The Egyptian Commission for Rights and Freedoms (ECRF) has launched an app to help activists under threat of 'enforced disappearance'. The app, disguised as a calculator, sends an email containing the activist's arrest location to their emergency contacts and the ECRF when a code is entered. According to the ECRF, 1,250 people disappeared in the first eight months of 2015.
