UN considers freezing Egypt's membership

At least 37 countries will meet to consider freezing Egypt’s membership to the United Nations General Assembly in response to its human rights violations and the United Nations’ Charter following the sentencing of 529 Muslim Brotherhood supporters to death in the Minya province in March.

The countries described the trial as a crime against humanity.

The move comes after representatives of the National Alliance to Support Legitimacy in Europe and the Global Alliance for Egyptians Abroad sent messages to heads of the states demanding they take action against the military backed government in Egypt and its violations of human rights.
