notes: Around 9 December 2020 (as reported), Egyptian police forces arrested a candidate who had lost the election for the House of Representatives, as well as 24 of his supporters, in order to disperse their demonstration in Belqas (Bilqas, Dakahlia). The demonstrators allege that the candidate, Awad Abdel Fattah Abu Al-Naga, lost in the run-off due to illegal tampering, and they cut off the international road to Mansoura by laying tree branches and tires down along the road, while some women lay on the ground.
