Alaa Abdel Fattah not on hunger strike: Security source

 

The source added that the inmate, who is a Egyptian-UK citizen, also gets food from the center's canteen.

 

The Independent reported on Sunday that Alaa entered his six week of hunger strike inside Torah prison, southern Cairo.

 

On December 20, 2021, an emergency court of the Egyptian State Supreme Security sentenced Alaa Abd El Fattah to five years in prison for charges of “publishing false news and disinformation, with the intent of disturbing public peace and stability.”

 

  

Alaa Abd El Fattah was arrested in September 2019 during rare demonstrations that were called by fugitive contractor Mohamed Ali.
