How much effort should a country expend to rescue someone who appears to hate its values? That is the question posed by the case of Alaa Abd el-Fattah.
Abd el-Fattah is an Egyptian pro-democracy campaigner who has been in and out of prison since 2006 for opposing the regimes of Hosni Mubarak and Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, and for drawing attention to torture and other abuses. In 2021, he was granted British citizenship through a somewhat tenuous connection—his mother, Laila, had been born in London while her mother was studying in the United Kingdom—which gave the British government greater standing to lobby Cairo on his behalf.
It pressed his case under three Conservative prime ministers (Boris Johnson, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak) and, since June 2024, under Labour’s Keir Starmer. Six months ago, a government minister said that the case had been “a top priority every week that I have been in office.
Last week, those efforts finally paid off. Egypt lifted a travel ban on Abd el-Fattah, who had been released from jail in September, and Starmer declared that he was “delighted” that Abd el-Fattah was “back in the UK and has been reunited with his loved ones.”

It’s pretty bad when you’ve lost The Atlantic.
WHY would the UK twist itself in a pretzel to give UK diplomatic protection to this person?
Because he was either an MI6 agent, or useful to the schemes of the globalists in the rump British empire in London.
I’m sure it’s only temporary
One just need to study Islam and their history.
What a timely thread...

This British National, James Holt, had an unusual interest in our US election process. He was very upset the day after WE THE PEOPLE elected Donald Trump as our President in 2016.
It’s abundantly clear, James Holt was on a mission here in 2020, along with Prince Harry, in undermining our Constitutional republic.
Foreign influence from the UK played a part in robbing the American people of a free and fair election, as well as violated many American’s first amendment rights in the Censorship Complex.
Do not let this go...

Was Holt an unregistered foreign agent in violation of the FARA...?
This guy supports the values of the UK government.
