NGOs around the world Condemn Persistent Crackdowns on Egyptian Civil Society and reject disabling draft NGO Law.

Civicus has joined with other organizations to issue a statement about the crackdown of civil society organizations in Egypt. They warn of new regulations that would stifle independent civil society in Egypt.

Arseh Sevom joins Civicus in condemning the actions of Egypt’s ruling military. It is clear that the region’s people are striving for more democratic and open societies. It’s time the governments of the region started seeing civil society as a valuable partner in meeting the needs of its population, rather than a hindrance.
