*[Enwl-eng] URGENT: British-Egyptian activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah is dying in prison. Demand his freedom.

[ENWL]

                        He is a father, a brother, a son, and a champion of human rights.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        Activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah May Only Have Hours to Live. Demand His Release From Unjust Imprisonment!

                        Political activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah has spent the better part of the last 9 years imprisoned. His vocal support of democracy and opposition to the authoritarian rule that Egypt has been under since President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi came to power in 2014 have earned him a life unjustly behind bars, separated from his family -- including his 10-year-old son, Khalid. 



                        For over 200 days, Abd el-Fattah has been intensely restricting his diet, protesting Egyptian authorities' refusal to grant him British consular access in prison (he holds dual citizenship in the UK and Egypt). The United Kingdom's inability to secure his safety, all the while coordinating and cooperating with Egypt in preparation for this year's COP27, is utterly disgraceful. COP27, an annual international conference to address climate change, is being held in Egypt this year, a deeply ironic juxtaposition to Abd el-Fattah's imprisonment. As United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and the Environment, David Boyd, aptly put in a tweet, "Freedom of speech is a prerequisite for climate justice!"

                        Now, the UK and Egypt have only days, possibly even hours, to save Abd el-Fattah's life as he has stopped eating and drinking water entirely. Sign the petition to demand the immediate release and safe passage of activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah!
                       
                 
           
                       
                 Thank you,

                        P.S. Alaa Abd el-Fattah is unjustly imprisoned in Egypt for his outspoken support of democracy and basic freedoms. Now he is dying on a hunger strike. Sign the petition.
