1. On November 26, we delivered the requested demarche to
Wael Abdoulmagd, Egypt's Deputy Foreign Minister for Human
Rights. Abdoulmagd was not aware of the upcoming election,
but said he would consider the request for support and share
it with his colleagues who coordinate United Nations
activities. We will report any substantive response
separately.
