From Egypt arrests more than 1,000 after anti-Sissi protests
Egyptian authorities have arrested more than 1,000 people, two rights groups say Wednesday, in the wake of rare anti-government protests last week.
The Egyptian Center for Freedoms and Rights says 1,003 had been arrested, while the Egyptian Center for Economic and Social Rights reports the figure of 1,298 detained. Two prominent academics were detained on Tuesday, relatives and lawyers say.
