Calls for the release of Alaa Abdel-Fattah are intensifying as the UNWGAD deemed his imprisonment illegal after an 18-month investigation. The group noted the absence of a warrant or explanation for his arrest related to exercising his freedom of expression. They urged Egypt to release him and provide compensation. Meanwhile, his mother has been on a prolonged hunger strike, facing severe health issues. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has also expressed his support, speaking directly with Egyptian President el-Sissi about the distress faced by Abdel-Fattah's family.
