Also in the Grey Lady this weekend: Cairo bureau chief Declan Walsh picks up on the jailing of human rights lawyer Malek Adlyover his stance against the maritime border demarcation agreement Egypt signed with Saudi Arabia, saying his arrest shows how President Abdel Fattah El Sisi “evidently rattled by public opposition to the transfer of the two islands, Tiran and Sanafir, is determined to quell growing criticism from lawyers, journalists and activists.” The president, who is now facing criticism over what the Times characterizes as “a steep economic downturn … has blamed unspecified hostile forces for his woes, and in speeches he has urged Egyptians to give him their unwavering support.” He told farmers at a wheat harvest event this week: “The more you succeed, the more the forces of evil will look for new wiles and more schemes.” Notable: Walsh’s story quotes the very brave Ragia Omran (Twitter), the 2013 RFK Human Rights Award winner (watch on Youtube) who first hit our radar screens in 2011 as she worked day and night to free protesters of all political stripes. Omran was herself briefly detained at Cairo International on Friday for questioning, as the AP’s Maggie Michael reports.
