We have raised our serious concerns about recent arrests on several occasions in both London and Cairo, most recently on 23 October. We will use the opportunity of Egypt's Universal Periodic Review at the United Nations Human Rights Council on 13 November to urge the Egyptian Government to improve prison conditions and guarantee freedom of expression.<\/p>"}

President Sisi has called for peaceful co-existence between religious communities in Egypt, has licensed over one thousand churches under the Church Building Law, and has opened the largest cathedral in the Middle East and North Africa. During my visit to Cairo on 15 September, I met Pope Tawadros II, whose Coptic Orthodox Church plays such an important part in Egyptian society. The UK has always been clear that the rights of minorities, wherever they exist, should be protected in line with international standards. I look forward to discussing these issues with the Hon. Member for Gillingham and Rainham, whom the Prime Minister has appointed as his new Envoy for Freedom of Religion and Belief.<\/p>"}
