Egypt has asked YouTube to remove a video of a woman being sexually assaulted during a rally in Cairo's Tahrir Square supporting the country's newly elected president.
A spokesman for President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi said the request was made by the Egyptian embassy in Washington.
The woman asked for the video to be taken down when Mr Sisi visited her in hospital on Wednesday, he said.
