Abstract
Violations of human rights and limitations on freedom were among the most serious problems under the rule of ousted Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. “Basic to the concept of human rights is the notion that human beings have the inalienable right to respect for their intrinsic dignity. This means that people must be treated in accordance with certain basic standards. The recognition of the dignity of the human person implies that human beings cannot treat each other however they see fit” (Hamelink, 2004, p. 72).
