The United Nations and the UK have joined human rights organizations in demanding the release of Alaa Abdel-Fattah, Egypt’s most prominent detainee. His prolonged hunger strike, now lasting over 25,000 days, has led to his mother being in critical health. This has raised serious concerns about the conditions of detention and the impact on family members.
Alaa Abdel-Fattah, a prominent political activist, has been detained for over two years. His hunger strike has drawn international attention, with many accusing Egypt’s government of using excessive force against its critics. The situation has also sparked protests in several countries, with calls for the release of detainees and an end to human rights abuses.
The UN has released a report highlighting the deteriorating conditions in Egyptian prisons and the impact on detainees and their families. The report calls for urgent action to improve the treatment of prisoners and to ensure their rights are protected. The UK has pledged support for these efforts, stating that it will continue to advocate for the release of political prisoners in Egypt.
Despite the international pressure, the Egyptian government has not responded to the calls for Alaa’s release. The situation remains highly contentious, with many human rights organizations continuing to monitor the conditions of detainees and the impact of prolonged hunger strikes on the health of family members.
