The health of imprisoned Egyptian activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah “deteriorated severely”, his sister Mona Seif has said, as the family was allowed to visit him for the first time in nearly a month.
“News from the visit are unsettling,” Seif said on Thursday on Twitter. Abd el-Fattah deteriorated severely in the past two weeks, she said, adding that the family would share more information later in the day.
