Proceeding contribution from Denis MacShane (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on North Africa and the Near and Middle East.
North Africa and the Near and Middle East
Will my hon. Friend comment on the case of the 26-year-old Egyptian blogger Maikel Nabil, who is now in his third month of a hunger strike? He was one of the first bloggers and the first Egyptians to say that the army and bits of the Muslim Brotherhood may be coming together. It is the army that is sending thousands of Egyptians to prison, with military courts and 93% conviction rates. That young man may die and be sacrificed as a martyr to the fact that the Egyptian army will not accept the will of the Egyptian people.
