<p>We have followed Azza Soliman's case closely, as well as the related Foreign Funding
case. We understand that Ms Soliman was released on bail, pending further investigation,
in December 2016. On 6 December 2017, Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon highlighted Ms Soliman's
case in his speech at an Amnesty International Human Rights Day event. UK officials
raised the Foreign Funding case with the Egyptian Assistant Foreign Minister for Human
Rights on 18 April 2018. On 18 September 2018, we made a statement at the UN Human
Rights Council in which we expressed concern about the "arrests of activists,
bloggers and journalists".</p>
