Rights groups demand investigation into killings of Egypt protesters

Rights groups demand investigation into killings of Egypt protesters - latimes.com:
The 13 domestic and international rights organizations argued that it will be difficult for the country to move forward without a full and transparent accounting of the crackdown on followers of deposed Islamist president Mohamed Morsi. Human rights groups have called the deaths the largest unlawful mass killing in modern Egyptian history.
The groups issuing the joint call included New York-based Human Rights Watch and London-based Amnesty International. Egyptian organizations, themselves facing heavy pressure from the military-backed interim government, also joined in the demand for a full investigation of political violence, mainly that associated with Morsi’s fall.
