Egyptian Activist's Controversial Views Spark UK Debate
Update: 2025-12-29
Description
Egyptian-British activist Alaa Abd El-Fattah, released from prison and recently returned to the UK, is facing controversy over past statements denying Nazi genocide and calling killing colonialists heroic. Prime Minister Keir Starmer initially welcomed his return but has since distanced himself due to these views. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch is demanding his British citizenship be revoked and that he be deported. Critics question how officials approved his passport without deeper checks, and the government faces calls to root out such views from its institutions.
