Karim Ennarah

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what information her Department holds on the status of Karim Ennarah's case.

Answer

The UK regularly raises human rights and civil society issues with the Egyptian authorities. We are aware of Mr Karim Ennarah's case, and our Ambassador in Egypt met Mr Ennarah and his wife in October last year. We are committed to supporting human rights defenders, who play a vital role and should be able to work freely in Egypt, consistent with rights guaranteed under the Egyptian Constitution.
