@AlsisiOfficial Mohamed Baker is a human rights lawyer. He is in prison for defending some of the most marginalized people in Egypt. In September 2019, he went to the prosecutor’s office to defend his friend and was himself arrested. Authorities never put him on trial. Instead,
they made false, terrorism-related accusations against him and threw him in jail – all because they disagreed with his work as head of the Adalah Center for Rights and Freedoms, which supports human rights and those unjustly jailed. Baker was never put on trial. Instead he
remains in prison, where authorities are confining him to his cell around the clock and refusing him a bed, mattress, books, newspapers – even family photos.
Defending people’s freedoms should not cost him his own. Mohamed Baker should be released immediately and
Defending people’s freedoms should not cost him his own. Mohamed Baker should be released immediately and
unconditionally, as he is a prisoner of conscience who has neither used, nor advocated violence. Further, all investigations into the fraudulent accusations against him should cease.
