Ibrahim Ezz El-Din is a 26-year-old human rights researcher who lives in Cairo, Egypt. He loves his job, where he researches and reports on people’s access to safe and affordable housing in Egypt – a basic human right. When not working, Ibrahim loves to draw and is interested in design. He’s a huge football fan, always keeping up with his local team, Zamalek Sporting Club. On the evening of 11 June 2019, Ibrahim was walking home when four security officers dressed in plain clothes surrounded him and arrested him. When his mum found out, she went straight to the local police station, but the police told her Ibrahim was not there, and denied that he was detained at all. Ever since that night Ibrahim’s family have been trying to find out what happened to him.
They’ve had no answers at all.
Ibrahim is the fifth person linked with his organization, the Egyptian Commission for Rights and Freedoms, to have been arrested in just three years. Hundreds of people like Ibrahim have been forcibly disappeared and held in prison for months, all without ever being brought to trial. Many have been arrested simply for expressing their opinions peacefully, criticizing the authorities, or standing up for human rights – from journalists to football fans and even politicians.

PLEASE WRITE TO THE EGYPTIAN AUTHORITIES
Ask them to reveal where Ibrahim is, give him access
to his family and lawyers and protect him from torture.
Tell them to release Ibrahim unless he is charged with an
internationally recognized crime.
