InterAction calls for end to crackdown on CSOs in Egypt

 

InterAction released a statement today calling for an end to the crackdown on civil society organizations (CSOs) in Egypt after raids earlier this week on several nonprofit organizations’ offices.

"The harassment of nonprofit groups is unacceptable and counterproductive. A strong civil society which is able to operate freely and without fear of interference is essential, particularly at this time in Egypt's history," said Samuel A. Worthington, president and CEO of InterAction.
