question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the claim by Human Rights Watch that 60,000 people, including Mostafa el-Naggar, are currently being held in prison on political grounds in Egypt; and whether they have made representations to the government of Egypt about that issue.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2019 answer text <p>​We are aware of recent reports regarding Mostafa Al-Naggar and are tracking his case. We remain deeply concerned about allegations of enforced disappearance in Egypt. Officials continue to raise these issues and concerns about freedom of expression with the Egyptian authorities both in London and in Cairo. Egypt is a human rights priority country for the UK and the UK wants to see more political progress and better protection of human rights for all Egyptians, as set out in Egypt's Constitution. The Minister for the Middle East and North Africa raised concerns over freedom of expression with the Egyptian Foreign Minister during his visit to Cairo on 14 October.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 12/02/2019 15:21:59 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
