Demonstrations in Egypt

Background:
Protests against the 2013 Egyptian coup erupted since the removal of President Mohamed Morsi by the Egyptian armed forces. Other demonstrations erupted to support the coup leader Esisi. Rights activists estimate that authorities have arrested hundreds for breaking the anti-demonstration law, which grants the Interior Ministry an absolute right to ban protests or public meetings on the basis of “serious information or evidence that there will be a threat to peace and security,” without requiring any proof.
