Rights groups say Egyptian authorities arrested more than 11,000 people after rare protests against President Abdel Fattah el Sisi
Egyptian authorities detained more than 1,100 people since the weekend when protests were held in several cities, calling on President Abdel Fattah el Sisi to quit, human rights monitors said on Wednesday.
Gamal Eid, head of the Arab Network for Human Rights Information, said his own group and two others — the Egyptian Center for Economic and Social Rights and the Egyptian Commission for Rights and Freedoms — had jointly documented more than 1,100 arrests.Hazem Hosny, a former spokesman for the short-lived 2018 presidential campaign of the ex-military man Sami Anan, was detained on Tuesday evening, said Mustapha Kamel Al Sayyid, a fellow professor at Cairo University, citing Hosny's family.
Protests in Egypt have been rare under Sisi, who has overseen a broad crackdown on dissent that rights activists say is the most severe in the country's modern history. The protests have rattled financial markets, with the Egyptian stock market's main index falling nearly 11 percent in trading between Sunday and Tuesday.On Wednesday morning, the Arabic hashtag "Sisi is not my president" was trending with more than 40,000 tweets.
