In solidarity with the protests in Egypt against the regime of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, Egyptians staged a pause in the Trocadero Square in the French capital Paris on Saturday evening, raising banners calling for the departure of Sisi.
Activists gave speeches in French and Arabic, in which they spoke of abuses and abuses by Sisi.
In an interview with Al Jazeera Net, Mohamed Ramadan, deputy director of the Media Organization around the world, pointed to the repression of press freedoms and freedom of expression in Egypt, saying that more than 2,000 people were arrested during the last week in connection with the demonstrations last Friday.
He talked about harassing the media and preventing them from delivering dissenting voices and street protests.
"More than 60% of the Egyptian people suffer from poverty, while Sisi wastes people's money by building palaces for himself," he said.
He added that Sisi seeks to mislead world public opinion regarding the human rights situation in Egypt.
Ahmed Shukri Hassan, one of the participants in the pause, said, "We are here today to tell Sisi to leave and suffice the labor and starvation of the Egyptian people, unfair judgments, arrests of dissidents, torture to death, and enforced disappearances."
The banners of the demonstrators included pictures of journalists who died and others who were absent in prison because of their attitudes towards the regime.
