(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - A visit to Egypt by a delegation of the Dutch parliament's foreign affairs committee has been cancelled after MP Raymond de Roon from the anti-Islam Freedom Party (PVV) was refused a visa.
The committee had been due to travel to Egypt on Friday for a working visit, Dutch media reported Tuesday.
De Roon claimed that he was refused a visa because of statements he made earlier about the treatment of Coptic Christians in Egypt.
The anti-Islam PVV leader Geert Wilders condemned the visa refusal as a "scandal".
