The financial crisis in Egypt will not be solved by prosecuting more Egyptians in unfair military trials and imprisoning them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This comes amid a worsening financial crisis facing Egypt, with a significant increase in food prices, in addition to the continuous economic contraction for several years.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Sisi government has consistently responded to opposition and criticism by harassing and imprisoning critics of its political and economic choices, which have led to widening poverty and unprecedented external debt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watan-Human Rights Watch issued a report shedding light on the violations of rights and freedoms by the Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi through the imposition of laws that enhance military intervention in civilian governance.
