The core argument of Coptic Solidarity for accusing him to be an “Agent' of al-Sīsī Government in the US” is that Rev. Dr. Andrea Zakī registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) prior to his last visit to the USA. They believe this is sufficient evidence for their claims.

It seems that they trapped Rev. Andrea Zakī since they first threatened to report him to FARA since he had been engaged in lobby work for Egypt without FARA registration. After his registration, they used this registration to accuse rev. Zakī to be an “Agent' of al-Sīsī Government in the US”

This article provides background about FARA with links to the publicly available documents about Rev. Dr. Andrea Zakī on the FARA website.

Nothing indicates that Rev. Dr. Andrea Zakī acted on behalf of the Egyptian Government. These meetings were clearly in line with his convictions as documented in “A Response to Coptic Solidarity regarding Rev. Dr. Andrea Zaki.”

The documentation on the FARA website includes the contact information of people met. This has been removed for this overview.
