Be sure to check out POMED’s new policy paper on how the U.S. and its European allies can better promote democratic reform and human rights in Egypt. Written by Greg Aftandilian, “Looking Forward: An Integrated Strategy for Supporting Democracy and Human Rights in Egypt” is being released as Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is due to visit the White House on May 26 and President Barack Obama will be delivering a major address on relations with the Muslim world on June 4.

Aftandilian will be discussing the main conclusions of the paper tomorrow afternoon with Tom Malinowski of Human Rights Watch, Edward Walker, former U.S. Ambassador to Egypt and former Assistant Secretary of State for Near East Affairs, and Neil Hicks, International Policy Advisor for Human Rights First. The event will be held at the U.S. Capitol from 2:00-3:30. For details, click here. To RSVP, email: advocacy@pomed.org.
