Activist apologises for historic tweets as Tories urge Starmer to deport him from UK
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"A democracy activist has issued an "unequivocal" apology for several historic tweets, some of which appear to advocate violence against Zionists but Sir Keir Starmer is now facing growing calls for him to be deported from the UK. Alaa Abd El-Fattah, who recently arrived in the UK after years of imprisonment in Egypt, does maintain that other posts have been "completely twisted out of their meaning"."

Donations enable coverage of reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, including investigations into Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and the documentary 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. A democracy activist, Alaa Abd El-Fattah, issued an unequivocal apology for historic tweets, some appearing to advocate violence against Zionists. Abd El-Fattah arrived in the UK after years of imprisonment in Egypt and a presidential pardon, and has faced political calls to investigate revoking his British citizenship after resurfaced posts dating back to 2010.
