Alaa Abdel Fattah’s imprisonment is still the big topic in the foreign press

Leading the conversation on Egypt in the international press: Continuing coverage of imprisoned activist Alaa Abdel Fattah, who is asking for a judge to investigate the complaints he and his family have filed over his detention, to be allowed British consular visits, and to communicate with UK lawyers as a witness to “crimes against humanity” during his time in prison, his aunt, the novelist Ahdaf Souief, said in a tweet after visiting him. Abdel Fattah gained UK citizenship in mid-April and remains on a hunger strike after being transferred from Tora Prison to better conditions at Wadi Natroun correctional facility. The story is making headlines in the Washington Post and the Financial Times.
