Egyptian-British starvation striker’s household says they acquired ‘proof of life’ letter By Reuters

CAIRO (Reuters) – The sister of Egyptian-British activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah stated on Monday the household had acquired a letter from jail that served as “proof of life” from the starvation striker.

“Alaa is alive, he says he is consuming water once more as of November twelfth,” Sanaa Seif stated on Twitter. “It is positively his handwriting. Proof of life, eventually.”

Abd el-Fattah, who has been on starvation strike in opposition to his detention and jail circumstances for greater than 220 days, had stated he was escalating his protest by ceasing to drink water on Nov. 6, the opening day of the COP27 local weather summit in Egypt.

Since then his household and his lawyer had made repeated journeys to the jail the place he’s detained northwest of Cairo, however had acquired no information on his situation.

Abd el-Fattah’s strike has overshadowed the United Nations local weather talks within the Crimson Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, the place a number of leaders have raised the case with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

Egypt’s public prosecutor stated on Thursday Abd el-Fattah was in good well being, after the household stated they have been knowledgeable that medical intervention had been carried out to keep up his well being.

British international minister James Cleverly stated on Monday the federal government would hold working to safe consular entry to Abd el-Fattah.
