In Egypt, one of the country’s leading activists has been released on bail as he challenges a lengthy jail term. Alaa Abd El-Fattah recently launched a hunger strike to protest his third imprisonment since the start of the 2011 revolution. Fattah was sentenced to 15 years for challenging Egypt’s anti-protest law. His father, the prominent human rights attorney Ahmed Seif al-Islam Hamad, died while he was in prison last month.
