Western human rights organizations and Sisi dictatorship

I won't mention Western media as we know that they follow the foreign policy orientations of their government but the relative silence of Western human rights organizations toward the scale of repression in Egypt has been sickening.  If the victims are not largely (but by no means exclusively) Islamists, they would have raised an international hue and cry.  I guarantee you that if Sisi were to turn against Israel (he won't), all Western media and Western human rights organizations would suddenly discover that he is a dictator after all.
