Egyptian Activist ... War on a Whole Generation In a Democracy Now! global broadcast exclusive, we spend the hour with one of Egypt’s most prominent dissidents, Alaa Abdel Fattah, speaking in his first extended interview after nearly four months behind bars. An open-internet and political activist, Fattah has been at the forefront of the struggle for change in Egypt for many years and has the distinction of having been actively persecuted by Egypt’s past four successive rulers. Facing a potential return to prison in the coming months, Fattah sits down with Democracy Now! correspondent Sharif Abdel Kouddous to discuss his case, Egypt’s future and its ongoing crackdown on activists. They are on a sentencing frenzy, Fattah says of Egypt’s military rulers. This is not just about me. It’s almost as if it’s a war on a whole generation. Special thanks to Omar Robert Hamilton and Sherine Tadros.
