Rosen has released the following statement: “We understand that Pakistani authorities are taking steps to ensure that Omar Sheikh remains in custody while the Supreme Court appeal seeking to reinstate his conviction continues.

He further ruled that no authority may dissolve the Shura Council, the upper house of Egypt's parliament. In a move likely to bring criticism that the Egyptian president is inappropriately expanding his powers, he also...

Mr Mostafaei, 37, is the human rights lawyer who represented Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, the Iranian woman sentenced to death by stoning for alleged adultery.
