Dozens of people have gone missing in Egypt after being detained 'secretly' by security forces, the Human Rights Watch (HRW) has warned.

The rights watch group said that in some cases, officials had either denied holding individuals or refused to reveal their fates, reported the BBC.

It called on authorities to disclose their whereabouts immediately and hold those responsible to account.

Enforced disappearances form a serious violation of international law.
