The Egyptian Center for Economic and Social Rights (ECESR) is an Egyptian non-governmental legal and research organization which addresses issues of Egyptian and Arabic human rights.[1]

Outreach

The ECESR sometimes coordinates with other NGOs to address human rights issues.[2] In a report titled 'Above the State' the ECESR suggested that increased foreign investment may not lead to improved conditions for most Egyptians.[3]

Police raids

ECESR offices have been subjected to multiple raids by Egyptian police leading to protest from numerous other agencies.[4][5][6][7][8][9]
