NGOs urge Borrell to address Egypt rights 'crisis'
By EUobserver
NGOs on Thursday urged the EU and member states to reevaluate their relationship with Egypt and to address "the human rights crisis" in the country at the meeting of foreign affairs ministers next week. "Business cannot continue as usual with Egypt as long as the Egyptian authorities maintain their brutal crackdown on human rights," reads the letter sent to EU's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell.
