AlaaThe military government of Egypt has detained activist and blogger Alaa Abd El-Fattah for 15 days after he refused to recognise the military courts right to try him. The government should immediately release him and all other activists and stop the use of military courts to try civilian cases.

Sign the petition: Egyptian Ambassador, London: Demand the Egyptian government free activist Alaa Abd El-Fattah.
