> About three weeks ago, Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi issued a presidential pardon releasing more than 300 prisoners. Among them was Ahmed Etiwy, an American citizen. A few days later, Vice President Pence commended Sissi for granting clemency to the prisoners.
> When Sissi began arresting political opponents early in his reign, the international community remained largely silent, accepting the official premise that he was only targeting terrorists. Having just won a second term, Sissi no longer sees the need to maintain this pretext. He has launched a new wave of arrests, beginning two months ago during the time of the national election.

> A spate of arrests, interrogations and detentions of activists, bloggers and journalists in Egypt over the last few weeks appears to indicate a significant escalation in the crackdown against the rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly in the country.
> The recent wave of arrests comes after a statement in February by the General Prosecutor ordering prosecutors to monitor social media sites that “spread lies and fake news”.
