100 DAYS FOR ALAA - ١٠٠ يوم لعلاء

100 DAYS FOR ALAA ١٠٠ يوم لعلاء

Alaa Abd El Fattah, one of Egypt’s most high profile political prisoners, has been imprisoned for nearly five years - charged with organising a protest. 

Alaa’s release date is March 17th 2019. 

This website seeks to re-focus public attention on Alaa and his case in the lead up to his release date. We want to ensure he is released on the day. It gathers all of Alaa's major writings, key essays written about him, international advocacy judgements found in support of him, press clippings and photographs. At its centre is a Timeline that gathers all these materials together. 

Following his release we will be campaigning against the second half of his sentence - the 'parole' period - in which Alaa is expected to spend every night in his local police station for five years.

Please send us any essays, photos or acts of solidarity and we will re-publish them here. This is an open-source campaign - we'll be putting out some new ideas, but need new thoughts and new energy coming in too. So get thinking with us! 

The hashtag, as always, is #FreeAlaa - please join us in preparing the ground for Alaa's release.



Alaa Abd El-Fattah is an Egyptian blogger, software developer and a political activist. He is currently serving a five year prison sentence in Egypt.
