Egypt jails three leading activists1

Summary

23 December 2013

Three of Egypt's most prominent activists from the 2011 uprising have been sentenced to three years in prison. They are the first to be convicted under a controversial new law that restricts demonstrations2.

Reporter:

Orla Guerin

Report

The three activists, Ahmed Maher, Ahmed Douma, and Mohammed Adel were at the forefront of the revolution in 2011. They were founding members of the April 6th Youth Movement which led the revolt against Hosni Mubarak. 

The jailing of these leading pro-democracy campaigners will deepen concerns about a growing crackdown on dissent3 here. 

Initially4, Islamists were the main target for the authorities – thousands have been detained. But recently dozens of liberal activists have been rounded up for breaching5 the draconian6 new law on public protests. 

The military installed government maintains that it is on a path to democracy. But to many here that's not how it looks.
