Translating - Omar Elfatairy Deutsche Welle: After 10 years... Why does America and the international community ignore human rights in Egypt?

‎The German TV website published a report highlighting the human rights situation in Egypt, a decade after the military coup.

‎According to the report, this week marks a decade since the military coup, which installed the current Sisi government.

‎At that time, while Egypt's politics and economy were in turmoil, the putschist Al-Sisi, claimed to his compatriots that the army had turned against the martyr President Mohamed Morsi because it had failed to create a "national consensus." But Al-Sisi promised that the army had no interest in Retention of political power and will facilitate a return to democratic civilian rule. @egypt

Egyptian authorities have arbitrarily detained women and girls related to suspected members of the Islamic State (ISIS) affiliate in North Sinai, some for months or years. Some were themselves victims of abuses by the ISIS-linked group, including rape and forced marriage, and were detained after they escaped and sought help from the authorities.

Looks like #Google will be deleting inactive accounts after 2 years. This will hurt political prisoners who may not have had time to prepare for their lengthy imprisonment (e.g. setting up next of kin), who won't have access to any form of electronic communication for very long periods of time, sometimes over 5 years. When they are released, their lives will be turned upside down in every way, with the loss of data and, if it was their primary email, the inability to restore other services.

UK & EU officials should refuse to meet with #China official likely implicated in grave violations in #Xinjiang that UN said may be crimes against humanity.

Instead, they should investigate Erkin Tuniyaz' role in those violations & sanction him.

UK/EU: Investigate, Sanction Visiting Xinjiang Official

The UK government and European Union should investigate and appropriately sanction rather than meet with a visiting top Chinese official from Xinjiang, where crimes against humanity against Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslims are rampant.
