“Human Rights Watch called on the Egyptian government Monday to stop using live ammunition against protesters, as it challenged the official death toll from day one of the ongoing crisis.  In a statement, the New York-based human rights group said the large-scale use of live ammunition was not only unjustified, but also a failure to abide by international policing standards.  With the death toll mounting every day, Egypt’s military rulers should ‘urgently reverse’ police instructions to use live ammunition to protect state buildings, it said.  Such lethal force should be used ‘only when strictly necessary to protect life,’ it added.”
