3 days agoAlaa Abd el-Fattah will not be stripped of British citizenship' over past tweets
Abd el-Fattah, who landed in London from Egypt on Boxing Day, has been at the centre of a political storm over social media posts he published more than a decade ago, including tweets in which he called for Zionists to be killed. Keir Starmer said he was delighted by Abd el-Fattah's arrival on Friday after the British government helped secure the activist's release from years in an Egyptian jail. However, the prime minister has since condemned the tweets and said he was unaware of them.
