Rare protests in #Egypt expose the level of anger and discontent masked by an iron fist policy and relentless oppression.

Dozens of Egyptians took part in anti-government protests after Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi announced on Monday that he will stand for a third term in office at an election scheduled for December, which he is widely expected to win

The human rights situation in #Egypt is critical.Heads of states who believe in democracy should take concrete steps to ensure there is an end to this travisty & the suffering of thousands of dissidents in #Sisi ‘s prisons. Business as usual undermines any notion of democracy for a new generation & will entrench authoritarianism. @JoeBiden @FCDOGovUK

Kangaroo courts, life sentences, torture and a climate of fear and repression are hallmarks of the #Sisi regime. ‘Egypt hands down life sentences over 2019 protests’ https://t.co/FlRr21qEHL

Freedom for all political prisoners and dissidents in Egypt. They are 60,000 in the most conservative estimate.

@Doylech Great that this crime will go unchallenged. How about @JamesCleverly challenging #Egypt president @AlsisiOfficial to free British national Alaa Abdel-Fattah before he also dies in jail on wholly bogus charges? #FreeAlaa, @FreedomForAlaa, @Monasosh

Essam Sultan, a charismatic lawyer and elected political opposition figure pays a very heavy price for refusing to bow to the military junta in Egypt. His early incarceration after the coup makes his innocence is not in question but a kangaroo court in Egypt locks him up for life

[Free Them @FreeThemAll_]

has always been committed to law at his political opposition. Now, he receives a final sentence of lifetime imprisonment for a case that took place after his detention.

For #COP27 there is an increase in spot controls in which plain clothes security officers check pedestrians' mobile phones and social media accounts. Ajit Rajagopal was detained overnight in Cairo after setting off on a solo climate justice protest march. https://t.co/xtKyKdijdo

Egypt's government could announce that projects have reduced Egyptian emissions by X. But companies then purchase carbon credits from the same project to say they have also reduced emissions by X. The emissions reduced in Egypt would then be counted twice https://t.co/NWXBwX29hw

A tsunami will not remove #Alexandria from the map. Tidal waves will certainly cause damage. But what will swallow this city are earthquakes and land subsidence. We will go down to the bottom of the sea, just the way it happened before.”

Let us not "greenwash" human rights abuses under the authoritarian regime of Sisi and his junta.

[World Politics Review @WPReview]

“In the aftermath of COP 27, once the international community has turned its eyes away from Egypt, any goodwill it has gained by hosting the conference may provide cover for its human rights crackdown to intensify.”

Freedom for the innocent!
Freedom for Osama Morsi, who committed no crime, other than being the son of the first freely and fairly elected President in Egypt's history !!

Lawyer Osama Morsi is serving a sentence of 10 years imprisonment, 6 of whom have been in solitary confinement and four others remain before him. The charge is that he is a lawyer.

The coup of #July_23 1952 ensured the control of the military over #Egypt’s politics &
resources weakening it’s social fabric.The coup of #July_3 2013 ensured the reversal of the attempt to end dictatorship.Egypt’s citizens must stand up to the minority in power to become free.

[Maha Azzam @MahaAzzam_ERC]

Innocent people are unjustly sentenced by #Egypt’s judiciary & abused in prison but there is no accountability.This is not a miscarriage of justice; there is a systematic abuse of power that is enshrined in the political & judicial system in Egypt. https://t.co/1zCVUsq99k
