Alaa Abd el-Fattah

Alaa Abd el-Fattah is a prominent Egyptian political activist and a well-known figure in the 2011 Egyptian revolution. He has faced multiple incarcerations under different regimes for his activism, and he is currently recognized as Egypt's most famous political prisoner. His advocacy for democratic reforms and freedom of expression has made him a target for government repression. He was sentenced to five years in prison for allegedly 'publishing false news' in a case widely seen as politically motivated. Despite his imprisonment, he remains a symbol of resistance against authoritarianism in Egypt.
