Egypt NGO Law Update: Ministerial Decree to Bar Egyptian NGO Staff From Political Discussions, Impose New Burdens on Fundraising and Distribution of Publications, and Prohibit the Hiring of Foreign Nationals
On Thursday, October 21, Egyptian newspaper The Seventh Day reported that a Regulation on the Internal Bylaws of Associations and Foundations was sent by the Ministry of Social Solidarity to NGO Directorates in every Egyptian governorate and will be publicly announced and distributed to NGOs across Egypt in the coming week.
According to The Seventh Day, the unanticipated new Ministry of Social Solidarity Decree No. 253 of 2010 will impose additional restrictions on the operations of Egyptian NGOs only one month prior to upcoming parliamentary elections. Among other changes, the Decree:
· Prohibits NGO employees from engaging in any religious, sectarian, or political discussions during working hours.
· Prohibits NGO employees from engaging in fundraising of any kind, the distribution of publications, or the organizing of “groups within the workplace” without the prior approval of the NGO’s Executive Director.
· Prohibits NGOs from hiring any individuals who are not Egyptian citizens.
