Amnesty urges release of Egyptian lawyer held over yellow vests
By AFP
February 19, 2019
BEIRUT: Rights group Amnesty International called Monday for the release of an Egyptian lawyer arrested after posing in a photo wearing a yellow vest symbolic of protests in France. Mohamed Ramadan, a human rights lawyer, was arrested on December 10 in the northern city of Alexandria on charges including spreading false news, distribution and possession of leaflets and yellow vests. His arrest came as reports circulated that Egyptian authorities were restricting the sale of yellow vests — the symbol of an ongoing protest movement in France. Several traders told AFP in December that sale of the vests had been curbed under instructions from Egyptian authorities.
