Activist's Homecoming Tainted by Old Tweets
Update: 2025-12-29
Description
British-Egyptian activist Alaa Abd El-Fattah returns to the UK after years in Egyptian prison, reuniting with his family. However, old social media posts calling for violence against Zionists resurface, sparking controversy. Abd El-Fattah, a key figure in Egypts Arab Spring, was jailed for spreading false news and received a pardon from Egyptian President el-Sisi. UK politicians demand a review of his citizenship and consider deportation, while supporters feel mixed emotions. Abd El-Fattah apologizes for the posts, calling them outbursts from his youth, and plans to celebrate his sons birthday. The Foreign Office welcomes him home but condemns the abhorrent tweets.
