“I wouldn't call this a House of Representatives that represents the will of the people at all,” @selhussieny.bsky.social says of the recent Parliamentary election in Egypt. There is unprecedented interference in the selection of the Chairman of the House and other heads of committees.

Egypt’s human rights record should remain under scrutiny in 2026, notes @selhussieny.bsky.social. Key areas to monitor include fair trial guarantees, the chronic crisis of arbitrary detention, conditions of prisoners in detention centers, transnational and digital repression and women’s rights.

The EU promised Egypt €7.4 billion in exchange for human rights improvements. Sadly, we see no change so far. Don't roll out the red carpet for Al-Sisi, but demand change during Wednesday's summit: No human rights improvements, no EU money. That's our message to @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu 👇

The Egyptian regime is using @soltan’s father, Dr. Salah Soltan, as a hostage—denying him medical care and holding him in solitary confinement to punish Mohamed in exile. This is part of Egypt’s escalating transnational repression. 🔗 shorturl.at/1T0yM #FreeSalahSoltan #TNR

When Tom Yorke wrote “bring down the government they don't speak for us” I think ironically it’s a universal saying that can be used by any citizen in any fucking country in this fucked up world. And I know how anarchistic this sounds but it’s the truth.🤷🏽‍♂️

While protests are taking place worldwide in support of the people in #Gaza, calling for #CeasefireNOW & #StopGazaGenocide,Western governments openly support #Israel's war crimes. The question is, do these governments truly represent their people? Or do they see us as sub-humans?

Ordering a million people in Gaza to evacuate when there’s no safe place to go, is not an effective warning. The roads are rubble, fuel is scarce and the main hospital is in the evacuation zone. This warning doesn't give license to harm the many civilians who can't or won't leave.
