The response to the weekend’s protests continues to lead the conversation on Egypt in the foreign press: Security forces have arrested more than 370 people following the recent demonstrations, most of whom are being detained in security facilities and facing possible charges of belonging to a terrorist group, spreading fake news, and joining unauthorized protests, the Washington Post reports. Rights lawyer Mahienour El Massry is among those arrested, having been detained on Sunday as she left the State Security Prosecutor's headquarters in Cairo, Qantara reports. The Associated Press, Reuters, and the BBC also had the story.
