Why?

The Egyptian government is guilty of violating one of the most basic human rights, the right to safety. 
In Sudan, for our readers that don't know, there is currently a genocide in progress against the southern tribes of the country. Members of these tribes are trying to escape the country in order to protect their lives. 
The members of these tribes, instead of sitting around in the camps for the displaced, which are attacked on a regular basis, and are crowded, and poorly guarded. Are running north hoping to reach Israel, but before they get to Israel they must go through Egypt. So they cross the Egyptian border, and they are immediately either arrested, returned to the Sudanese Government for torture, or just murdered for illegally entering the country. 
Please tell me, can you really kill a man for entering a country illegally if he is running away from certain death?
If you can answer this question with any thing other than a no, please leave a comment to enlighten me.
