Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is on a three day state visit to the UK. But the trip has proved controversial. Opponents accuse Sisi of cracking down on his opponents and serious rights violation. The protesters are also angry about London’s support for a president who assumed power through a military takeover.
