Additionally, the judiciary system has been controlled by the regime, often politicizing justice to strengthen its grip on its people. The government has deprived Egyptians of their right to lawful assembly. Checkpoints are everywhere, and one can get arrested at any time, anywhere, and for no reason. The government controls all media outlets for propaganda purposes.įurther, Egyptians do not have freedom of movement. If one tweets against the regime, they often end up in jail for years.
The lack of freedom of expression has exacerbated the crisis.
