[JURIST] The Egyptian Organization for Human Rights [advocacy website] has said that it will conduct its own investigation into the sinking of a ferry carrying 1,400 Egyptians [BBC report] in the Red Sea earlier this month. Another Egyptian NGO, the Civil Observatory for Human Rights, has meanwhile called for a greater degree of transparency in the official government probe. There were reports Tuesday that the company that operated the ferry delayed informing the Egyptian government [AP report] about the sinking almost six hours after the ferry sank, prompting a strong reaction form Egyptian citizens. A group of Egyptians seeking information on relatives lost when the ferry sank on Monday ransacked the ferry company's office [Reuters report]. IRIN has more.
