CAIRO — The “terrorist entities” law submitted by Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and approved by Egypt's Cabinet on Nov. 26 has stirred a wide debate, especially among human rights activists and civil society organizations.
The law defines terrorist entities as “any association, organization, group or gang that practices, aims at or calls for destabilizing public order, endangers society’s well-being or its safety interests or endangers social unity by using violence, power, threats or acts of terrorism to achieve its goals.”
