Location
A significant crackdown on civil society has been taking place since 2014. Egyptian authorities consolidated a hostile legal environment to muzzle dissent and curtail freedom of assembly, freedom of association, freedom of expression, media independence and digital rights. Peaceful protests are attacked and criminalized, no matter the size or issue.
