Protest against Abdel Fattah al-Sissi
In 2013, the great commander-in-chief of the Egyptian army Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi replaced the pro-Islamic president of the region, Mohammed Mursi, and became the new head of the state.
In the 2018 elections, al-Sisi was re-elected to the presidency of Egypt.
The rise of large-scale protests against policies of a dignified president were celebrated in the spring of 2019.
Protesters in the places of Giza and Mahalla called for al-Sisi’s representations. In the town of Suets, the law enforcement officers used laced gas to disperse the crowd.
Over a number of days, more than 300 protest participants were arrested.
And over the course of a week, the number of those arrested was 2000 osib.
