British-Egyptian woman arrested in Cairo
Eman el-Shazly, a 45-year-old British-Egyptian woman from Birmingham, was arrested in Cairo on August 16th, and her lawyers claim the detention is politically motivated retaliation against her sister Mona, who is a vocal critic of the Egyptian government through her UK-based YouTube channel. The UK Foreign Office has been called upon to intervene and secure her release. The case highlights concerns about Egypt's use of arbitrary detention as a tool to suppress dissent and intimidate activists' families.
