Who is Ayman Nasry (Ayman Abdelmasieh) the Egyptian Human Rights fraud and scammer
Ayman Nasry Abdelmasieh, also known as Ayman Nasry, is an Egyptian intelligence officer posing as a human rights advocate. He shamelessly aligns with oppressive governments that systematically violate basic freedoms and oppress dissent. He promotes the shady human rights records of Egypt, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia in Geneva. In international human rights discussions, he is a highly controversial figure, often serving as an instrument of certain governments.
His organization disgracefully received $3.7 million in funding between 2017 and 2023 from both the UAE, where human rights are substantially restricted and Saudi Arabia, known for its executions of political protesters and opponents.
Nasry’s Involvement in UN Human Rights Forums Spreading Misleading Narrative
Based on his activities, he regularly participates in human rights forums, especially during sessions of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC). However, his focus often involves presenting misleading narratives that support the Egyptian government and the security and socio-political challenges faced by Egypt, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia.
He is now the Head of the Arab- European Forum for Dialogue and Human Rights which works in collaboration with (IMPAC), the “International Movement for Peace and Coexistence chaired by extremist Israeli, Arson Ostrovsky.
Ayman was forced to change the name his ECOSOC organisation after he was exposed in money laundering activities whereby UAE was using his organisation to dominate funding for other NGOs in Geneva.
Surprisingly, he also operates as a ruthless ‘attack dog,’ actively working on behalf of these repressive regimes to silence any dissent, stifle freedom of speech, and dismantle civil society efforts that challenge or expose their oppressive actions.
Human rights organizations and independent observers have strongly condemned him for consistently downplaying, distorting, or outright ignoring critical issues like freedom of expression, arbitrary detentions, and the brutal suppression of dissent, thus enabling and legitimizing the very abuses he claims to oppose.
The whitewashing of Egypt, UAE, and Saudi Arabia’s dark Realities
Nasry’s misleading advocacy often focuses on defending the policies of Egypt, emphasizing the government’s approach to combating extremism and maintaining national security. On the other hand, based on Human Rights Watch reports, Egypt’s human rights concerns are
“one of its worst … in many decades”,
and that
“tens of thousands of government critics, including journalists, peaceful activists, and human rights defenders, remain jailed on abusive ‘terrorism’ charges, many in lengthy pretrial detention.”
In the UAE and Saudi Arabia, Nasry’s reports and public appearances highlight initiatives such as economic diversification plans and social reforms. He points to programs like Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 as evidence of the country’s commitment to progress. Similarly, he underscores the UAE’s development in areas such as anti-terrorism efforts and modernization projects.
In reality, both the UAE and Saudi Arabia are engaged in a deliberate campaign of whitewashing through these economic projects and future endeavours, using them to bolster their image while concealing the harsh realities of authoritarian regimes and widespread oppression in their countries
Nary’s Silence on Egypt’s, KSA and UAE Human Rights Abuses
While advocating for Egypt, Nasry is shamelessly silent on its human rights abuses. In 2021, Freedom House ranked Egypt as “Not Free” in its annual Freedom in the World report, giving it a “Political Rights” score of 6/40 and a “Civil Liberties” score of 12/60, with a total score of 18/100. The same year, Reporters Without Borders ranked Egypt 166th in its annual Press Freedom Index. As of 2020, the Committee to Protect Journalists listed Egypt as “the world’s third-worst jailer of journalists,” behind Turkey and China.
When Nasry praises Saudi Arabia’s initiatives, he overlooks the harsh realities that Human Rights Watch has documented. According to the organization, Saudi Arabia continues to repress pro-reform activists and peaceful dissidents. The government actively censors speech, the press, and other forms of communication—including television, radio, and internet access—to prevent political dissent and suppress anything deemed offensive to Wahhabi culture or Islamic morality.
Moreover, he tried to paint the UAE as a progressive nation but forgot that in the UAE, there is no formal commitment to free speech. It is not permitted to be critical of the government, government officials, police, or the royal families. Any attempt to form a union or protest publicly against any issue will be met with severe action. Free speech restrictions apply not only to critics but also to ordinary social media users.
