The sister of a British citizen at risk of death on a hunger strike in jail in Egypt has started a sit-in outside the Foreign Office in London, demanding the authorities urgently secure his release ahead of next month’s Cop27 hosted by the North African nation.
Sanaa Seif said the family fears a “dangerous point” was approaching for Alaa Abd El-Fattah, a British-Egyptian rights activist and software developer who has spent most of the last decade behind bars in Cairo.
