A cover image of the newsletter Wasla, or Link, on the website of the Arab Network for Human Rights Information, an Egyptian human rights and legal center focusing on freedom of expression and Internet freedom in the region, makes a parody of the political situation in Egypt. Egyptian security forces confiscated copies of the newsletter, and arrested a worker in the print shop, in Cairo, Egypt, June 15, 2014, saying the publication threatened the government. Arabic reads, "Go on Normandy" in the bubble, and "Psychological and social analysis of the rise of El-Sissi" and "Why I support Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi (Egypt's newly elected president)."
