Alaa Abd el-Fattah, a prominent activist, remains a political prisoner in Egypt, sentenced for sharing a Facebook post critically highlighting human rights issues, showing the extent of oppression.
He declared, "I'm in prison because the authorities want to make an example of us. So let us be an example, but of our own choosing." This reflects his resilience.
Despite being a British citizen through his mother, Abd el-Fattah has been denied basic rights in prison, with his family alleging political motivations behind his continued detention.
15 British and Egyptian NGOs are rallying for action, urging the UK government to press for Abd el-Fattah's release, linking it to Egypt's economic relationships.
