Alaa Abd el-Fattah, a prominent British-Egyptian activist, is serving a prolonged imprisonment where conditions have been described as isolating and demoralizing. His mother, Laila Soueif, is on a hunger strike in London to demand his release as she battles declining health. Supporters claim that Abd el-Fattah's detention is part of a vendetta by Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi. Despite completing his five-year sentence last autumn, he remains imprisoned. Advocates emphasize the regime's tactic of isolation, denying him proper living conditions, social interaction, and mental stimuli to break his spirit.
Alaa Abd el-Fattah's treatment in Wadi al-Natrun prison aims to isolate and demoralize him, having been denied social contact and reading materials for years.
Laila Soueif's hunger strike in London underlines the urgent calls from supporters for the UK government to intervene in Alaa Abd el-Fattah's case.
