The government’s response to last month’s protests continues to receive attention in the foreign press. Amnesty International alleged that Human rights activist Esraa Abdel Fattah was mistreated by security officials after being arrested on Saturday. The statement was picked up by the Associated Press, while Agence France-Presse reported that Abdel Fattah and Bread and Freedom party official Abdallah Said were detained at the weekend.

The New York Post goes against the countervailing narrative in the Western media. Sohrab Ahmari criticizes the New York Times’ “anti-Sisi” coverage, claiming that moderate Muslims and Christians would face greater threats under an Ikhwani government.
