Q&A: Legal Framework and Environment for Nongovernmental Groups (NGOs) in Egypt

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : The prosecutions and attacks against human rights defenders and independent activists include travel bans and asset freezes now in their sixth year and additions to the "terrorist list" in arbitrary proceedings.
40% : Enforcement of the law and its regulations could bring about the demise of the few remaining independent organizations in the country or at a minimum bring their work to a halt.
37% : Unless international pressure compels the government to revise the law and its repressive policies, organizations not registered by January 2022 will be subject to dissolution and asset freezes, exposing their staffs to heightened government repression, including possible indefinite arbitrary detention and criminal prosecution.
35% : Under other laws, such as certain penal code provisions, staff members could face criminal prosecution.
