The group accuses Egypt’s main security agency of harassing activists to silence them
A global human rights group on Thursday accused Egypt’s main domestic security agency of harassing and intimidating rights advocates and activists to silence them.
The Amnesty International report was the latest rebuke to Egypt’s government, which faces increasing pressure from the U.S. to improve its human rights record.
A government media officer did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the report.
