Egypt sentences rights activist to 3 years over 2019 opinion article

Rights activist Patrick George Zaki sentenced to three years in prison in Egypt over an opinion article he wrote in 2019.
Zaki was convicted of "disseminating false news" related to an article about discrimination against the Coptic Christian minority in Egypt.
Zaki's case highlights Egypt's intolerance of government critics and echoes the tragic fate of Italian student Giulio Regeni.
Amnesty International condemns Egyptian authorities for Zaki's imprisonment.
Zaki spent 22 months in pretrial detention, and has no right to appeal under Egyptian laws.
