BDS Egypt is calling for the immediate release of its general coordinator Rami Shaath.
Shaath’s family revealed Wednesday that Egyptian security forces seized the campaigner in a dawn raid on his Cairo home on 5 July.
He is accused of having ties to the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood. There is no indication his arrest is related to his role in BDS Egypt.
BDS Egypt said that authorities have presented “no legal reasons or evidence to justify his detention until now.”
