.@hrw: the constitutional amendments were "a shameless attempt to entrench the military's power over civilian rule, and the referendum took place in such an unfree and unfair environment that its results can have no pretence to legitimacy". google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.… #Egypt
Opposition figures alleged that the government had denied #Egyptians freedom to express peacefully opposition to the changes before the vote and that it had used public money to distribute electoral bribes.
There were reports during the referendum that some people were offered free rides to their local polling stations or given food parcels once they’d voted. An activist was arrested for holding up a banner saying "No to the constitutional amendments" #Egypt
