question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the political situation in Egypt.
tabling member printed	Lord Kennedy of Southwark
uin	HL2561
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2014 answer text Since January 2014, Egypt has held a constitutional referendum; elected a new President; and is preparing for parliamentary elections to be held in the coming months. We look to President Al Sisi to take steps to implement the rights contained in Egypt’s constitution, in particular ensuring freedom of expression and association, as well as ensuring that human and legal rights are fully upheld. We express our concern to the Egyptian authorities when we see these rights being threatened, such as in the mass death penalties handed down in Minya; the prosecution of journalists; the detention of people engaging in peaceful political expression, the limitations on peaceful protest, as well as restrictions on the freedom of non-governmental organisations. We believe that a genuinely open political process, in which all political groups are able to participate, will lead to long-term political stability in Egypt. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 06/11/2014 14:08:12 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
