President Abdel Fattah El Sisi apologized on Sunday for all Egyptian lawyers after an incident in which a police officer insulted a lawyer last week.

This came on the sidelines of the president's inauguration of 39 new development projects.

Addressing Interior Minister Magdy Abdel Ghafar, Sisi urged state authorities to keep in their minds that they are dealing with human beings and that they have to deal properly with the Egyptians.
