Human rights groups have harshly criticized the actions taken by the Egyptian government since July, accusing the government of crushing dissent and trampling human rights.
“Three years on, the demands of the ‘25 January Revolution’ for dignity and human rights seem further away than ever,” said Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui, deputy director of the Middle East and North Africa Program at Amnesty International, according to USA Today. “Several of its architects are behind bars, and repression and impunity are the order of the day.”
While the Muslim Brotherhood continues to be attacked by the Egyptian government, Michael Hanna of the Century Foundation in New York told Reuters that they are not easily swept aside entirely.
“Their soft, non-ideological support from Egyptian society has collapsed but their most energized core remains more zealous than ever,” Hanna said.
