Red Sea dive-boat survivors accuse authorities of cover up

Survivors of a deadly dive-boat sinking in the Red Sea say they were pressured to sign official witness statements in Arabic – which they couldn’t understand and had been translated from English by an employee of the boat company.

They say the man also tried to get them to sign waivers which stated they did not accuse anyone of “criminal wrongdoing”.

The 11 survivors who have spoken to the BBC have also accused the Egyptian authorities of trying to cover up what happened, saying investigators were determined to blame it on a huge wave.
