It’s another relatively quiet day for Egypt in the international press, with no one story driving the conversation.

Mental illness in Egypt is associated with significant stigma and those in need of help have trouble getting it, Walt Curnow writes for the National. Society at large is insensitive to the issue, which has continued to affect more people – especially the youth who “feel trapped” by poor economic and social prospects. Even though Egypt’s suicide rate, according to World Health Organization statistics, is among the lowest internationally, evidence is suggesting that the rate is much higher — or at best — gaining momentum. A recently created Facebook page, Break the Silence, aims to raise awareness.

 Among the handful of other stories out there:

• Retired soccer great Aboutrika has been hit with a one-year jail sentence for tax evasion. The onetime icon, hit with charges he has Ikhwan sympathies, has lived in exile as a football commentator in Qatar since 2013. The Associated Press has the story.
• Egypt is taking down street signs bearing the names of Ikhwan leaders, according to Al Monitor.
• A court has sentenced a policeman to three years in prison and another to six months for beating a detainee to death, prompting criticism on social media, AP reported.
