US concerned by Egypt's treatment of the opposition
Egypt-USA, Politics, 8/2/2005
"We are seriously concerned by reports of mistreatment and detention of opposition members in Cairo during a protest on Saturday.. we strongly advocate the guarantees of civil and political rights for everyone, regardless of the country or their political beliefs. The Egyptian people are going to go to the polls this fall and certainly any kind of intimidation or harassment of opposition groups would be incompatible with genuinely free and fair elections.. And it's obviously something we are raising with the Egyptian government, too," U.S. Department of State Acting Spokesman, Tom Casey, said yesterday.
