Egypt: Violations, Repression Upstage Presidential Vote

[HRW] Beirut -- Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's election to a third six-year term followed a campaign of arrests, intimidation, and onerous requirements for candidates that effectively prevented any meaningful competition, Human Rights Watch said today. The authorities announced on December 18, 2023, that Sisi had won with 89.6 percent of the vote in the December 10-12 election.
