Rubio waives human rights restrictions on $320m Egypt military aid
Original: Rubio waives human rights restrictions on $320m military aid to Egypt
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has waived human rights conditions attached to $320 million in military aid to Egypt, clearing the way for the funds to be released. The move sidesteps requirements that Cairo improve its human rights record before receiving certain security assistance, and is likely to draw criticism from rights groups and some lawmakers.
Why now: The waiver of human rights conditions on US military aid to Egypt is a significant and controversial foreign policy decision.
