We regularly raise our concerns about the rights to freedom of expression, association
and assembly with the Egyptian authorities; these rights are essential to improving
the protection of Freedom of Religion or Belief in Egypt. The Egyptian constitution
contains protections for Freedom of Religious Belief and it is important that these
rights are respected. In particular, we welcome President Sisi's consistent calls
for peaceful coexistence between Christians and Muslims in Egypt. The UK has also
been working with al-Azhar University in Egypt for over ten years to help develop
a new generation of religious leaders who can build dialogue across different cultures
and religions, and confront extremism. The work includes English teaching, debating
skills training and a postgraduate scholarship scheme.
