Abu Seeda to Paris after release

The Secretary General of the Egyptian Organization for Human rights Hafez Abu Saada is heading to Paris where he will represent the EOHR in Egypt in the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of human rights declaration.

In a telephone call with the AFP he said he is in a good health and is preparing to leave Cairo for Paris where he will represent the human rights organization in Egypt in the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of human rights declaration.

On Tuesday, Abu Saada was arrested for "receiving funds from foreign countries, harming to the national interests." Abu Saada stressed "there are preparations made in order to initiate a dialogue with the government with the objective to preserve the very existence of the organization during the coming phase."

Worthy mentioning the organization which was established in 1985 and does not enjoy a legal position. Judicial efforts were made to gain official recognition as a non governmental organization by the Ministry of social affairs.

Meanwhile the general prosecutor ordered to discharge the lawyer of EOHR Mostafa Zisdan as soon as possible. Zisdan is the most prominent author of the reports charging Egyptian police with brutality against Copts.
