HRW: West fails over Egypt

Ahead of the conference Human Rights Watch called on the UN to condemn the “most dramatic reversal of human rights” in the country’s history, which it insists has happened since President Mohammed Morsi was ousted in July 2013.

HRW also criticized Western countries and delegations, for failing to send a signal to President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi that human rights are a priority.
