CAIRO - Amnesty International's (AI) Secretary-General Salil Shetty is expected to visit Egypt next Monday for talks with Egyptian officials on improving human rights. During the visit, Shetty will seek commitments from officials to pursue reform and accountability for abuses during the January 25 revolution and in the previous 30 years. The AI official will visit Manshiyet Nasser, one of Cairo's informal settlements, where thousands of residents are facing forced eviction from land the authorities plan to use for luxury housing, as part of the Cairo 2050 development master-plan. He will also meet with a range of Egyptian civil society activists and travel to Suez to meet with the families of those who were killed during the revolution.
