Hello!

Thanks to all your support, Karim was released from prison six months ago, however the Egyptian authorities have not dropped the charges and Karim has been placed under a travel ban, preventing us from being re-united in the UK. 

A few weeks ago Karim and I recorded a podcast with the Guardian's Anushka Asthana talking about the limbo we now find ourselves in. It's also the first time Karim has spoken about his arrest and the wider political changes in Egypt leading up to it. We would love you to listen to it and share widely:

Today in Focus: Karim’s story: Egypt’s crackdown on human rights workers

We believe that sharing our story can help get these bogus charges get dropped and shed light on the cases of countless other political prisoners in Egypt. 

Thank you, 

Jess
