 And human rights advocates have rallied in Brussels against Egyptian's president, Abdel Fattah El Sisi, who arrived in the Belgian capital for a summit between the European Union and the African Union. The protest was called by Amnesty International and was held outside the Royal Palace during Sisi's meeting with King Felipe. Among the protesters was Rami Shahath, the Egyptian-Palestinian political prisoner recently released in Cairo after 900 days in detention. EU and African leaders were meeting on Thursday for a two-day summit, seeking to reboot ties with pledges of major investment in face of competition from China and Russia. Like many political prisoners in Egypt with foreign passports, Shahath had his nationality stripped as a precondition for his release on 6th January. The measure that has been denounced by rights groups and human rights advocates, including Shahath's family.
