"Mr President, it is always sad to talk about human rights abuses because we in the EU take for granted the universal rights that we exercise day in, day out.
The case of Dr Ibrahim is deeply worrying because it is part of a trend that we see increasing in Egypt. Yet Egypt – as we have heard from Mr Posselt – is a friend and ally. Therefore I urge the Commissioner on his visit to Egypt to raise at the highest level with President Mubarak the case of Dr Ibrahim and his colleagues. He should be released immediately. There should be a fair appeal process.
I equally urge him to raise the case of the 'Cairo 52', who are also undergoing a retrial, and of the four British men held pending trial in Cairo at this moment. We are friends of Egypt. We must encourage dialogue. When dialogue fails, we must bring forward sanctions."@en1
