The National Council for Human Rights (NCHR) slammed on Sunday the killing of three judges who were shot dead by gunmen in Sinai earlier.

In a statement, the party affirmed that such terrorist attacks will not prevent the Egyptian judges from assuming their role, set by the constitution and the law.

The council offered condolences to the families of martyrs and to all judges in Egypt.

"We are confident that Egypt can triumph over terrorism," the party said.
