CAIRO: Prominent British-Egyptian activist Alaa Abdel Fattah was released from prison in Cairo, his family said on Tuesday, prompting an emotional reunion with his loved ones after a pardon from President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. Abdel Fattah, 43, was a leading figure in Egypt’s 2011 uprising and an outspoken critic of the country’s authorities who had been jailed for the better part of the past decade.

The 43-year-old British-Egyptian national, who was pardoned alongside five others, was a leading figure in Egypt's 2011 uprising and was jailed under each administration since.
