We, the undersigned human rights organizations, express our grave concern regarding the prolonged arbitrary detention of 61-year-old Ibrahim Metwally since 10 September 2017, and his recent indictment in three cases at once on terrorism charges, solely for his human rights activism including his efforts to seek truth and justice for his forcibly disappeared son. Mr. Metwally’s first trial started on 1 June, and his second trial is set to start on 11 June. No date has been set yet for his trial under the third case.
