Britain Must Call for Release of British-Egyptian Activist and Coder Alaa Abd El Fattah
Briefly

Alaa Abd El Fattah, a British-Egyptian coder and activist, has faced unjust incarceration for advocating free speech in Egypt. His plight highlights the repression of dissent.
His family has faced significant barriers, including denial of visits, while Alaa suffered through beatings and a long hunger strike, which raises global concern.
Despite some improvements, Alaa's situation underscores a troubling reality: Egypt's oppressive laws have led to a cycle of retaliation against those who demand justice and free expression.
Alaa's activism has made him a target for Egyptian regimes, exemplifying how technology can both empower communities and, paradoxically, put activists at risk.
