Over 100 British Mps have urged the government to take action for the release of Egyptian-British activist Alaa Abdel Fattah, who has been imprisoned for over three years. Fattah was arrested in 2019 and sentenced to five years in prison for sharing a Facebook post accusing an officer of torture. The MPs express concern at the lack of progress in his case, calling on the government to intervene at the UN Human Rights Council level and update travel advice for British visitors to Egypt. Amnesty International organized a rally in London to mark ten years since the military coup by General al-Sisi.
