[Mada Masr مدى مصر @MadaMasr]

President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has granted amnesty to activist Alaa Abd El Fattah and five others, in response to calls by the National Human Rights Council, state-aligned television announced on Monday.

The council had submitted a plea to the president for their release in September, to which Sisi responded asking the “relevant officials” to review the request.

The activist and writer has been detained since 2019. His five year sentence on false news charges was due to come to an end in 2024, but authorities refused to consider his time in remand detention as part of his sentence.

Others included in the pardon include Saeed Magly al-Daw Eleiwa, Karam Abdel Sameea Ismail al-Saadany, Walaa Gamal Saad Mohamed, Mohamed Abdel Khaleq Abdel Aziz Abdel Latif and Mansour Abdel Gaber Ali Abdel Razeq.

[Dr. Ezzideen @ezzingaza]

For days we have obeyed, as though obedience might purchase our right to live. We left Gaza City and went south, into the so-called “safe zone,” that bitter parody of salvation. But there is no salvation here.

Tonight the house beside us was chosen, chosen as if by some cosmic tribunal to be torn apart. And so we sit together in a single room, pressed so close we can hear one another’s hearts. The walls tremble with our silence. The air itself feels guilty for remaining still. We are no longer people; we are the condemned, awaiting the sound that will deliver the verdict.

There are no safe zones in Gaza. The whole of this land has been turned into a graveyard where the living walk. Every home is a coffin with its lid not yet shut. We do not live. Life has fled from us. We simply endure, suspended on the edge of a scream, waiting for the instant when light and sound and dust will rush in and erase us.

And if we die tonight, it will not be as martyrs or as soldiers, but as shadows passing wordlessly into the dark, proof that the world was watching and did not move.

NEWS: I’ve set up an independent anti-racist reporting and monitoring organisation. We’ll document racist attacks, support victims, pressure authorities to act, and amplify the voices of smaller, more isolated Black and Asian communities across Britain.🧵

#VeniceFilmFestival became the focus of possibly the largest protest ever seen at a major film event over Israel’s ongoing military assault on Gaza. https://t.co/QNjOLZUADg

[أنس الشريف Anas Al-Sharif @AnasAlSharif0]

This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.

Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.

I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.

I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.

I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.

I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.

I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.

I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.

O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.

Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

Laila Soueif's condition is critical. She is at death's door. She has been on hunger strike since September 29th to press for the release of her son, Alaa, who has been unjustly imprisoned in Egypt for so many years. The family has run out of time. Free Alaa. Save Laila.
