EGYPT: Human rights lawyer Malek Adly, who had raised a legal challenge to President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi’s decision to hand two Red Sea islands to Saudi Arabia, was arrested yesterday.

He was ordered to be held in custody for two weeks, pending inquiries into a list of allegations, including plotting a coup.

Mr Adly, a member of the April 6 youth movement that helped topple autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011, has appeared on TV condemning the islands’ handover.
