Press Conference: Egypt’s coup leader not welcome in Britain
General Abdul-Fattah El-Sisi, Egypt’s self-appointed president and the mastermind of the violent military coup that resulted in the massacre thousands, is due to visit the United Kingdom next week.

Dr Maha Azzam (Chair) – Head of the Egyptian Revolutionary Council,
Mr Rodney Dixon QC – Barrister specializing in International Law,
Mr Peter Oborne – British journalist, commentator and author,
Ms Lindsey German – Founding member and convener of the Stop the War Coalition,
