A new coalition of Egyptian political parties publicly criticized the country’s current government Monday for persecuting politicians, in a rare act of political dissent.<\/p>\n

In a news conference Monday, Emad Gad, a spokesman for the Free Current coalition, said the practices of President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi’s government “represent a severe danger to the political and economic future of our country.”<\/p>\n

Since coming to power in 2013, el-Sissi\u2019s government has detained thousands of suspected supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist group<\/a> banned as a terrorist organization, and also secular activists and dissidents.<\/p>\n

Rights groups and former prisoners have accused the Egyptian government of deploying brutal tactics to curb dissent, such as forced disappearances, torture and long-term detentions without trial.<\/p>\n

The Free Current coalition was formed in June this year, comprised of an array of mostly liberal opposition parties and figures.<\/p>\n

One of its leading figures, Hashim Kassem, was detained last week following a public spat with a former government minister. According to The Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, a leading rights organization, Kassem will be tried next month with several charges including slander, defamation, and assaulting a public servant.<\/p>\n

“We need a new president, a new government, and a new parliament,” said Akmal Qortam, chairman of the Conservative Party and a member of the Free Current Movement who was also at the news conference.<\/p>\n

The North African<\/a> country is expected to hold presidential elections next year, with the vote widely expected to be a foregone conclusion in favor of the incumbent el-Sissi.<\/p>\n

Egypt is also in the midst of an economic crisis, beset by price hikes and a depreciating currency. In July inflation was at a record high of 38.2%, according to data released by the state-run Central Agency for Mobilization and Statistics. Economists have been critical el-Sissi\u2019s management of Egypt\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n

The country’s rights record came under intense international scrutiny last year during its hosting of the international climate summit. One of the country\u2019s most high-profile detainees, rights activist Alaa Abdel Fatah, went on an extended hunger strike that purposefully coincided with the duration of the conference to draw attention to his detention.<\/p>\n

In recent years Egypt has sought to improve its international image. El-Sissi\u2019s government has tried to launch what it called a “national dialogue” with well-known figures from society, although few known dissenters participated.<\/p>\n

The government has also pardoned a number of high-profile detainees over past months. Chief among them is Patrick Zaki, a leading human rights<\/a> defender, and Ahmed Douma, one of the Egyptian activists behind the 2011 anti-government uprising that was part of the Arab Spring.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
