Three days of voting and the world is suppose to see this election as legitimate? The Egyptian people have spoken, "Open the prisons and release the captives!" Extended voting is not written into the contract with the Egyptian people. A low voter turnout speaks it's own priorities and Sisi lost the election.
Sisi didn't know Russkies didn't have the answer? Really? Overflowing prisons that can't be maintained to human rights standards are not what a civilized people value. Oppressing the Egyptian people to RETURN to "THE OLD WORLD" comfort standard is not where the world exists in the 21st century.
Once a dictatorship fails, the way forward is very turbulent, but the people prefer the path ahead than the path abandoned. It took a long time for Lebanon to move through the maize of hatred and retaliation, but, it managed just fine with fragments remaining.
Sisi hasn't mastered, "The Liberator's Voice." My guess is he never will.
The court's findings are illegitimate and the prisoners are being held against international standards of human rights. Prisoners on the verge of death due to their captors are human rights violations.

CAIRO — Egypt’s government (click here) announced late Tuesday that it was extending voting in the presidential election to a third day amid widespread reports of low turnout. The move could call into
question the legitimacy of front-runner Abdel Fatah al-Sissi.
Many polling stations in normally crowded neighborhoods of the capital were empty Tuesday, the second day of a two-way election seen as a referendum on
Sissi’s rule. A former defense minister and army chief, Sissi led a coup against President Mohamed Morsi — an Islamist who was Egypt’s first democratically elected leader — last July in the wake of protests that demanded his ouster, gaining broad popularity....
