Articles & Testimony
On May 11, 2010, Institute Keston Family fellow and director of Project Fikra J. Scott Carpenter cosigned an open letter to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton calling for stronger U.S. efforts to persuade the Egyptian regime to lift its state of emergency. The letter, drafted by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace's Working Group on Egypt, is a response to the announcement earlier that day that the Egyptian parliament had extended the country's emergency law for an additional two years even as national elections approach. Egpyt has been under a state of emergency since 1981.
