"I am very concerned about the situation in Egypt, particularly the ongoing investigations into activities of NGOs and political foundations, including the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, the US International Republican Institute and the National Democratic Institute. Reportedly, a number of defendants were referred to the Cairo Criminal Court, as these organisations worked in Egypt without formal authorisation, although appropriate procedures were followed for such authorisation. The work of these organisations is treasured by governments and civil society; they contribute to the establishment of the rule of law, good governance, and human rights. These are also values embraced by Egypt. People took to the streets and put an end to Mubarak’s regime to establish a more just society and secure the rule of law, good governance and human rights. Egyptians exercised their rights to free expression and association. These are also the rights at stake for the organisations currently under investigation. I call upon the Council and the Commission to raise these issues with the Egyptian Government. Criminal investigations against these organisations must stop. Egypt must guarantee free expression and association, and welcome a solid civil society and political pluralism, so that arguments, not weapons, cross in the public space."@en1
