Prominent political activist and former spokesperson of the April 6 Youth Movement, Mohamed Adel, has been arbitrarily detained for over eight years solely for exercising his human rights. His physical and psychological health have severely deteriorated as a result of his prolonged arbitrary detention, denial of adequate healthcare and lack of access to sunlight. He continues to be denied examination by specialist doctors despite suffering from multiple serious health conditions, and has expressed suicidal thoughts and his intention to begin an open-ended hunger strike during a family visit on 6 July 2026.
