Trump Secures Release of Human Rights Workers in Egypt

[waiguoren]

An Egyptian American charity worker who was imprisoned in Cairo for three years and became the global face of Egypt’s brutal crackdown on civil society returned home to the United States late Thursday after the Trump administration quietly negotiated her release.

President Trump and his aides worked for several weeks with Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi to secure the freedom of Aya Hijazi, 30, a U.S. citizen, as well as her husband, Mohamed Hassanein, who is Egyptian, and four other humanitarian workers. Trump dispatched a U.S. government aircraft to Cairo to bring Hijazi and her family to Washington.

Sounds like some immigrants we don't need in 'Merica.

Is she hot? Trump probably only did it if she was hot.

That standard should be applied to refugees as well: we should only admit smoking hot women between 18 and 30

And didn't have to pay 1.7bn dollars?

 

[Chesten_Hesten]

Wonder why they were left there to rot for the last 3 years?

No love from the previous Administration?

Actually Egypt gets billions in aid.

They shouldnt have the nerve to capture Americans.

They were captured when el-Sisi started its massive crackdown, Obama cut off the weapons supply to Egypt (slap on the wrist considering the military massacred hundreds of peaceful protesters) so Egypt captured US citizens.

Once weapons started flowing back they had to go to the appeal process to free them, which is total BS.

Fuck Egypt.


Just shows American hypocrisy on things, Assad kills a few dozens he needs to be removed ASAP, el-Sisi kills 600 sitting protestors and he gets a temporary weapons freeze so they kidnap American citizens.
