Egypt’s second Fact-Finding Commission, established by decree by interim President Adly Mansour, was tasked with compiling and documenting information and evidence regarding outbreaks of violence occurring from 30 June 2013, when large-scale protests broke out in opposition to then President Mohamed Morsi, who was ousted in July 2013.
