Egypt denies entry to prominent American scholar
Egypt denied entry to a prominent American scholar arriving at Cairo's international airport Saturday, the latest incident in the country's sweeping crackdown on dissent.
Michele Dunne, senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and a former US diplomat, had accepted an invitation to speak at a conference organized by the Egyptian Council for Foreign Affairs, made up primarily of former Egyptian diplomats.
In her work, Dunne is frequently critical of the Egyptian government.
