The UK Government remains committed to securing the release of Alaa Abd El-Fattah. We continue to raise Mr El-Fattah's case at the highest levels with the Egyptian Government.
The FCDO will use the upcoming Universal Periodic Review session on Egypt in January to raise issues relating to human rights.
