Despite the fact that Egypt is one of the most visited countries in the world, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's regime has led to the incarceration of between 50,000 and 70,000 political prisoners, surpassing even countries like Syria and Iran, through a policy of propaganda, repression, and violence. #Egipt #deținuțiPolitici #reprimare (translated)

Oana Eftimie described Călin Georgescu as a political prisoner and called for intensified international pressure on the authorities in Bucharest. She argued that he was targeted because he wanted to run as an independent candidate in the presidential elections and that the abuses were also aimed at the population, starting from December 6, 2024. Eftimie stated that the efforts of Florian Philippot from Les Patriotes in France, the interview that George Simion was supposed to give to Mario Nawfal, and the protests organized every evening in front of the Central Arrest were important but insufficient. She urged AUR to use its international networks and to send letters and notifications to politicians and European institutions. Among the aspects that Eftimie called for to be denounced were the images and information that reached the press during the search, as well as the breaking of the gate with a ram. She also questioned the proportionality of the preventive arrest, stating that, after the first 24 hours, a judge decided to release Georgescu and place him under judicial control. According to Eftimie, he did not evade the investigation and did not refuse to comply with procedures, but was subsequently deprived of his freedom again; she asked what justification existed for this measure. #DetinutiPolitici #DrepturileOmului #Abuzuri (translated)
