This morning in the foreign press: Egypt’s public prosecutor has allowed Egyptian-Palestinian activist Ramy Shaath to be released from detention, almost two-and-a-half years after he was arrested by security forces, judicial sources told AFP. Shaath, the son of senior Palestinian politician Nabil Shaath and a founder of the BDS boycott movement against Israel, was detained in July 2019 and held on charges of collaborating with a terrorist organization. Shaath will now be deported from the country, a member of Egypt’s human rights council said yesterday.
