| 2013-12-13 |
| [Al Ahram] US State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki said Wednesday the US welcomes the reduced sentences of the Moslem Brüderbund trials in Egypt but with remaining concerns over the climate leading to arrests and detentions. On the 11 December daily press briefing, Psaki said the US had closely followed the trials of Moslem Brüderbund leaders in Egypt and were pleased with the release of some pro-Brotherhood female demonstrators. "We continue to look to the government of Egypt to ensure the Egyptians are afforded due process with fair and transparent trials, and continue to convey our belief that civilians should be sent to civilian courts," Psaki said. |
