The Alliance of Middle Eastern Socialists salutes the acquittal of Egyptian feminist lawyer Mahienour el-Massry and trade unionist Moatasem Medhat whose names were included in our international campaign in solidarity with Middle Eastern political prisonners.
They have been acquitted on appeal by a court in Alexandria, Egypt on 13 January, 2018. The two activists had been convicted of breaking Egypt’s repressive anti-protest law, and breaching a law on public assembly imposed by the British colonial authorities in 1914, and sentenced to two years in jail.
We continue our struggle to shine a spotlight on the political prisoners in the prisons of Egypt and the Middle East and North Africa region and demand the release of all them.
Solidarity with Mahienour el-Massry and Moatasem Medhat
Freedom for all political prisoners in Egypt and the Middle East and North Africa region!
