Keir Starmer says Egyptian-British activist Alaa Abd El-Fattah back in UK
Egyptian-British activist and blogger Alaa Abd El-Fattah, a prominent critic of the Egyptian government, has returned to the UK after nearly 12 years of imprisonment in Egypt. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced Abd El-Fattah's arrival on December 26, 2025, expressing "profound relief" at his release. Abd El-Fattah was pardoned by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in September following international pressure and hunger strikes. He had been jailed multiple times, including for his role in the 2011 uprising and for criticizing el-Sisi after his 2013 coup. Despite the pardon, Abd El-Fattah faced a travel ban until his recent departure, which he hinted at on social media. The UK government had previously faced criticism for not doing enough to secure his release.
