notes: The families of detained protesters were assaulted while waiting outside a Cairo court for a verdict on 19 April. As security forces escorted the detainees to the prisoner transport vehicle among a crowd of relatives and activists, a group of women - likely to have been commissioned by an unconfirmed party - attacked all women and girls present, particularly targeting young photojournalists. The police did not intervene to stop the assaults. [women targeted: activists/human rights defenders/social leaders][women targeted: relatives of targeted groups or persons][women targeted: girls]
