Egypt pardons activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah, a British-Egyptian dual national, on September 22, 2025.
Egypt has granted a presidential pardon to Alaa Abd el-Fattah, a British-Egyptian dual national and prominent activist imprisoned for six years, according to his lawyer and state television.
A key figure in the 2011 Arab Spring protests, Abd el-Fattah had drawn international attention for his hunger strikes and criticism of the Egyptian government, becoming a symbol of political repression.
His case gained global scrutiny, with advocacy from his mother, Laila Soueif, who went on a hunger strike in the UK.
The pardon, announced on September 22, 2025, also included five other prisoners, though release timing was not specified.
The move comes amid ongoing concerns over Egypt’s human rights record and treatment of political detainees.
