What Rights Are Being Violated?  Freedom of Speech/Press  Right to Public Demonstration  Persecution against the Coptic People  The Unlawful Treatment of Homosexuals

The Freedom of Speech  Reporting the January Revolution  Conditions under Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood  Al-Jazeera under attack “I had gotten used to threats during the long rule of President Hosni Mubarak. But the Morsi era was different. Under Mr. Mubark, I was threatened only with prison; under Mr. Morsi, my life was in danger.”

The Freedom to Demonstrate  Tahrir Square 2011  Rabba Square 2013  Declaration of Human Rights “Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association”

Persecution of the Coptic People  What have they done to deserve this?  Persecution under the Muslim Brotherhood  After Morsi “I don’t see a president ruling Egypt. I see someone called Mohammed Morsi, a criminal evading justice, who is hiding in the presidential palace.”

Unlawful Treatment of Homosexuals  Why is there mistreatment?  What the Law states  Any changes made? 95% of Egyptians believe that homosexuality should not be accepted by society
