#Egypt #HumanRights lawyer Mohamed El-Baqer will celebrate his 2nd birthday in jail, subjected to inhuman & degrading treatment. MEPs @HNeumannMEP & @MounirSatouri call on the Egyptian authorities to release him & other unjustly detained HRDs. @EP_HumanRights #FreeBaker

[Mounir Satouri 🌍 @MounirSatouri]

Je salue la décision en #Egypte de libérer #Esraaabdelfattah et 5 autres militants, mais bien d'autres libérations doivent suivre pour que @Europarl_FR change de regard sur la situation!

#Egypt #HumanRights lawyer Mohamed El-Baqer spent 22 months in prison. Ahead of his 2d birthday in jail on 20 July, @mlotfy81, Director of the Egyptian Commission for Rights & Freedoms recalls how "he was always ready to stand by the oppressed" #FreeBaker https://t.co/5titGcIrUl

Two days ago in Brussels, European MFAs and officials had nice breakfasts with their Egyptian counterpart. Today, we see the Egyptian authorities launch a new crackdown on the Egyptian Human rights community.

Were Human Rights absent from the menu? 1/2

How many more #HumanRights defenders behind bars before #EU Foreign Affairs Ministers & @JosepBorrellF seriously raise #HumanRightsViolations with #Egypt's Foreign Minister #Sameh_Shoukry?

📌Our latest policy brief on #European and like-minded states in #Egypt investigates the link between the interests of European states (e.g. political stability, economic goals) and their position on the #HumanRights situation in Egypt.

Today, Foreign Affairs @EUCouncil has lunch with new #Israel Minister of Foreign Affairs, @yairlapid. EU #FAC Ministers should remind #Israel of its obligations under #InternationalLaw to end #colonisation and grabbing of Palestinian land. @JosepBorrellF https://t.co/rlULLb5frn

3/3 In #Israel, authorities are committing the crimes against humanity of #apartheid and persecution: https://t.co/vamGI0mzIT

Some EU states have been waking up to that reality. Unanimity still a long way to go, but not a condition for likeminded to speak up and take action.

[Claudio Francavilla @ClaFrancavilla]

2/ #Egypt has been intensifying its brutal repression in (and because of) total impunity, enjoying European money, weapons, support and legions d'honneurs.

Both NGOs and EU Parliament have urged a "profound and comprehensive review" of 🇪🇺-🇪🇬 relations:

THREAD: #EU Foreign Ministers at #FAC expected to receive their counterparts from #Egypt and #Israel, both countries undergoing profound #HumanRights crises.

The tone of the meeting and the issues raised will tell how real the EU's #HumanRights commitments are. 1/3

Yesterday Esraa AbdelFattah received @MoveDemocracy Award for courage @NazraEgypt @FemenaNet @rightlivelihood @whatthewomensay today ask for her release from prison &lift the travel ban on her #FreeEsraa

@laurenzcollins For comparison, in Belgium, women cannot legally change their name to their husbands' (though they can use it as a 'nom d'usage') and both parents' names appear on the kids' ID: https://t.co/JcbTWzpq4b

Mabrook @solafasallam; glad you're off the hook, but this shouldn't have happened in the first place. What a travesty of justice!

[Solafa Magdy @solafasallam]

وبالاطلاع تبين ان المتهمة بالانضمام لجماعة ارهابية/ #solafamagdy ، قد أخلى سبيلها بقرار من النيابة وهذه شهادة تفيد بذلك
Today, I got an official statment that I am was released in connection with the case in which I was accused of joining a terrorist group.

As Blinken lands down in Cairo and speaks of a strong allyship, our inaugural report at @thefreedomi documents how Egypt has treated Americans as adversaries, with devastating impact on American lives, livelihoods, and wellbeing throughout 2020. https://t.co/SGOkaEHiew

[EuroMed Rights @EuroMedRights]

#Egypt: we condemn the assault against human rights defender #ZyadElElaimy & researcher #AhmedSamirSantawy during their detention at Tora prison. They are unjustly detained on charges of joining a terrorist group for their role in defending human rights 👉https://t.co/CC97d6TDxb

[EuroMed Rights @EuroMedRights]

#Egypt: we welcome the release of satirist #ShadyAbuZeid yesterday. He was detained for 6 months on charges of joining a terrorist group. Egypt should stop repressing freedom of expression & misusing terrorism charges against human rights defenders👉https://t.co/Wfm0MGLY6O

[Laura Delacroix @LauraDelacroix1]

This is the judicial system in Egypt too. There is a video and witnesses, but somehow still a lack of evidence.

[Mada Masr مدى مصر @MadaMasr]

BREAKING: None of the men arrested last year on suspicion of gang raping a woman at the Fairmont Nile City hotel in 2014 will be tried for the charges at present, the Public Prosecution announced on Tuesday, and all will be released.

[Laura Delacroix @LauraDelacroix1]

This is the true face of justice in Egypt.

[Hussein Baoumi @husseinmagdy16]

In a ruthless executions campaign during a period of religious celebrations for Christians and Muslims in #Egypt, the authorities executed a monk and a 80+ years old Quran tutor, both following grossly unfair trials, marred by torture and enforced disappearances.

What is it like to be a journalist in Egypt today? @ShaimaAboElkhir explains it for you.

[EuroMed Rights @EuroMedRights]

Today, the world celebrates #WorldPressFreedomDay, but not in #Egypt. Since Abdel Fattah al-Sisi took power, the country has become one of the most dangerous places for journalists: 24 are currently in prison, according to @pressfreedom. Listen to @ShaimaAboElkhir 👇
