The Egyptian authorities re-arrested political activist Alaa Abdel Fattah at dawn on Sunday and took him to an unknown destination, according to family and human rights sources, as part of a major crackdown on hundreds of activists and demonstrators opposed to the regime.

In an article published in the New York Times, the writer highlights abductions by the Egyptian government against activists and anti-regime activists.

State security agents secretly abducted Alaa from his cell at the local police station at dawn on Sunday and took him to a high-security prison.

She adds that his mother, Laila Sweif, a university professor, human rights activist and civil society activist, came to the police station to pick him up and was told he left. But when she saw the street closed, she realized something had happened.

Security Campaigns
The writer refers to the videos published by the Egyptian contractor Mohamed Ali, which is watched by millions of Egyptians, and says that it sparked a wave of spontaneous movements and protests on September 20, as well as the organization of last Friday's demonstration, which led to the launch of large-scale security campaigns including Alaa Abdel Fattah .

According to the Egyptian Center for Economic and Social Rights, about 2,200 people have been arrested since the protests began, and police and special forces are patrolling the streets.

The author says these measures are strict even by Egyptian standards, and notes that the authorities see this rare and sudden uprising of the opposition as evidence that Egyptians are most likely prepared to engage publicly in politics and demand change and justice again.

Human rights lawyer and former presidential candidate Khaled Ali has filed cases that aspire to change Alaa's special circumstances, including allowing him to own a cell phone and laptop in his cell so that he can work and earn income for work programmed.

Charges and control
Ala's sister says he and his lawyer face charges of joining an illegal organization, committing a crime linked to the organization's external funding, spreading false news that endangers national security, and using social media to spread such news.

The author stresses that Alaa was trying slowly to rebuild his life, despite the restrictions imposed by his parole, where he tried to see everything he had lost during his five years in prison, such as technological progress and changes in the region, adding that he was seeking to provide income despite his inability To work in a normal job.

Ala was keen to spend as much time as possible with his seven-year-old son and the rest of his family, she says, adding that it was clear to everyone, including state agencies, that all the charges against him were fabricated.

He undoubtedly was under constant surveillance within 12 hours of daily freedom, but did not pose a threat to anyone, including governments.
