Human rights is leading the conversation in the international press this morning: Human rights researcher Patrick Zaki has been sentenced to three years in prison for “spreading false news,” the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights ( EIPR ) said yesterday. Zaki spent almost two years in pre-trial detention for writing an article in 2019 about his experience as a Coptic Christian, before being released in December 2021 ahead of the trial. Zaki will not be able to appeal against the judgment. ( Associated Press | AFP | BBC | New York Times | DW)
