The problems of the Sisi regime are increasing, and the execution is the solution

Egypt recently witnessed a new round of executions involving seven people in the so-called “Helwan Microbus” case and the “Ajnad Misr” case, which date back to 2014 and 2016. This new batch confirms the general trend of increasing death sentences since 2013 when Abdel Fattah al-Sisi took power through Coup overthrew elected President Mohamed Morsi. Reports by Egyptian and international human rights organizations indicate that hundreds of judgments issued by the courts and executed by the Ministry of Interior departments over the past two years have placed Egypt in the fifth place among the first countries to carry out death sentences, and the third, according to Amnesty International.

These data also expose the extent of falsehood in the decisions issued by Sisi last September under the name of the “national strategy for human rights” and the failure to extend the state of emergency after it had been extended 19 times. To link financial aid to human rights files. On the other hand, more dangerous, some of the new decisions aimed at transforming emergency provisions into permanent laws to restrict public liberties and civil and journalistic rights, under deceptive banners such as disclosing defense secrets, combating terrorism, protecting public facilities, and granting the President of the Republic supreme and unequivocal powers that consolidate the absolute powers that are originally unique to him. .

Thirdly, it is data that put some Egyptian judicial departments in the dock, because most of those subject to death sentences were subjected to severe abuse and deprivation of legal counsel to its minimum levels, refusal to adopt evidence in addition to torture, persecution and repression. The execution has already been taken and is only awaiting a signal of execution from the security services departments.

Nevertheless, the Egyptian civil society is not completely absent, as it might appear at first glance, and some manifestations of special significance have been repeated in recent times about the methods of resistance, protest, and push for change. For the first example, the Engineers Syndicate elections resulted in the defeat of the former captain, who was a minister of transport close to the authority and chairs the Transport Committee in the secretariat of the specialized committees of the “Mustaqbal Watan” party, amid an atmosphere dominated by calls for keenness to re-correct the work of the union to make it serve the affairs of engineers, their rights and work Syndicate instead of being drawn into politics and what serves power. In a second example, Wafd Party leaders were able to remove the party leader, who has held the position since 2018, and was in turn loyal to the authority. Al-Sisi had previously appointed him as an agent for the Senate, and he was keen to empty the party of opposition currents by dismissing or appointing close associates and threatening to resort to the security services.

While Al-Sisi visited Saudi Arabia in search of urgent solutions to the dilemmas facing his regime as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and other intractable and growing problems, in the meantime, his security services only care about the increase in the number of execution victims, the intensification of repression, and the development of authoritarianism and corruption.
