Mohamed Seif Eldin-Cairo

The Egyptian authorities have extended their security campaign since the beginning of this week against the backdrop of participation or support of the demonstrations calling for the departure of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. The presidential campaign of former army chief of staff Lieutenant General Sami Annan (currently detained), according to human rights sources told Al Jazeera Net.

Al-Jazeera sources also said that the Egyptian authorities arrested the former head of the Constitution Party, Khaled Daoud.

Before his arrest, Nafaa said on his personal Twitter account that Egypt's interests require the departure of Sisi today before tomorrow.

Dr. Hassan Nafaa is a former head of the Department of Political Science at the Faculty of Economics and Political Science at Cairo University, and has been a professor for more than 40 years.

Arrests
In a related context, eight Egyptian human rights organizations called on the security forces to immediately release the detainees they arrested during the past days on the background of participating in the demonstrations calling for the departure of Sisi, who number about 1500 people.

The organizations condemned in a statement - Al Jazeera Net obtained a copy of it - the security forces deal with peaceful demonstrations that came out last Friday and arrested about 1500 people, in addition to arrests of political activists from their homes at dawn for the past days.

The statement condemned the security prosecution of a number of lawyers and human rights defenders in Egypt, including lawyer and human rights activist Mahinour Al-Masri, and lawyer Sahar Ali, after attending the prosecution's investigations with peaceful demonstrators who had been arbitrarily detained.

I have no doubt that the continuation of Sisi's absolute rule will lead to a catastrophe, and that the interest of Egypt requires his departure today before tomorrow, but he will not leave without popular pressure from the street, and at the same time we must choose the least costly ways to ensure the transfer of power To good hands, and to avoid the scenario of chaos.
