The election results, which were announced early this year, showed Sisi winning a new presidential term, in an election process that AFTE described as \u201clacking legitimacy\u201d. The crackdown on Tantawy and members and leaders of his campaign did not stop by removing him from the presidential race but continued with the aim of obstructing his political project and punishing him and his supporters with imprisonment and political trials. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/afteegypt.org\/en\/highlight_en\/2024\/11\/19\/38936-afteegypt.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: #800000; color: #ffffff;\"><b>Joint statements\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38906\" src=\"https:\/\/afteegypt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lebanon.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"928\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/afteegypt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lebanon.jpg 928w, https:\/\/afteegypt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Lebanon-768x426.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 928px) 100vw, 928px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">46 human rights organizations, Including AFTE <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">organizations, Demand an immediate and durable ceasefire in Lebanon and restrict the transfer of arms to Israel to stop further escalation and achieve a ceasefire.
