[Ticker] Egyptian leader embarks on 'execution spree'

Amnesty International condemned what it called Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's "execution spree" in a report Wednesday, noting that 57 people were killed in October - twice the figure for all of 2019. But for his part, French president Emmanuel Macron declined to criticise Egypt when he met Sisi in Paris Tuesday, saying: "Just as I don't accept being lectured on how to govern my country, I don't lecture others".
