In January 2022, Ramy Shaath arrived in Paris after spending 900 days in an Egyptian prison.
Forced to renounce his Egyptian nationality upon being freed, the Palestinian academic and organiser was greeted at the airport by his French wife and cheers from supporters.
“I share the relief of his wife,” wrote French President Emmanuel Macron, who had pushed his counterpart, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, for Shaath's release.
“Thank you to everyone who has played a positive role in this happy outcome.”
Cut to four years later and Shaath is facing deportation from France as a "serious threat to public order".
