LONDON: Many activists in Britain have launched an international campaign to sign a petition to  David Cameron asking him to prevent Egypt president Abdel Fatah Al Sisi to visit London.

The Activists launched the campaign on website ‘Avaaz’ for community campaign.

David Cameron faced anger and threats of protests after he invited the Egyptian president for talks in London despite international condemnation of Abdel Fatah al-Sisi’s human rights record.

President Sisi, the former head of Egypt’s armed forces, staged a coup in 2013 to remove his democratically elected Islamist predecessor, Mohamed Morsi. A court in Cairo this week sentenced Morsi to death.
