For example, Czech Rights group NESEHNUTÍ sounds the alarm bell that the Czech Republic plans to export 50 000 handguns and 10 million pieces of ammunition to the Egyptian Police. This is completely against the conclusion the EU Council adopted last August 21, after a bloody massacre of Muslim Brotherhood supporters in Cairo. Amongst others, the EU Member States agreed to suspend export licenses to Egypt of any equipment which might be used for internal repression. According to the Czech government, these handguns are not for repression but for self-defence of the Egyptian police. Although the Czech Republic seems to be willing to permit the deal, there is some hope that Germany or Poland, from which the guns and ammunition must be shipped, will deny transit.
