Alaa Abdel Fattah: 'My brother's certain he won't come out of Egypt prison alive'

 

The family of a prominent British-Egyptian pro-democracy activist, who’s been on hunger strike in jail for more than 100 days, are growing increasingly concerned for him.

Alaa Abdel Fattah is one of the most high profile of tens of thousands of government critics imprisoned in Egypt on what human rights groups say are politically-motivated charges.

He gained British citizenship in December 2021. And politicians and celebrities in the UK have come out in support of him.
