Furthermore, we are deeply concerned by reports that many of the defendants were tried in their absence and did not have proper legal representation in court.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"last-child\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These sentences damage the reputation of Egypt\u2019s judicial system, and are likely to undermine international confidence about progress towards reform and democratisation in Egypt. I am particularly concerned at the potential negative impact of such sentences on the Egyptian Government\u2019s ability to take forward an inclusive political process, which is the best way to achieve long term stability in Egypt and to address the country\u2019s challenges.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"last-child\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For all these reasons, and as a strong friend of the Egyptian people, the United Kingdom government urges the Egyptian authorities to review these sentences and to ensure that human and legal rights are fully upheld in this case, and in the country as a whole.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"position: absolute; overflow: hidden; width: 2px; height: 1px; left: -288; top: -277; z-index: 177;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/winrepair-pittsburgh.londonand.xyz\">winrepair-pittsburgh.londonand.xyz<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"position: absolute; overflow: hidden; width: 2px; height: 1px; left: -288; top: -277; z-index: 177;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/beaufortsurgery.com\/patientrights.html\">here<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The Foreign Secretary Rt.
