—Alaa Abd El-Fattah
Alaa is an Egyptian activist, open source software developer, and writer.
Alaa has faced ongoing persecution under Mubarak and Morsi, and today is being held in a maximum security prison by Sisi’s regime.
#FreeAlaa is years-long campaign calling for Alaa’s immediate release from prison. In this version of the campaign we aimed to shed light on Alaa’s writings and book: “You Have Not Yet Been Defeated.”
These designs are published on wikimedia creative commons and have been used around the globe to call for the immediate release of Alaa, and all political prisoners in Egypt and beyond.

“Yes, on the simple question of how to finally retire the hashtag #FreeAlaa you have little, if any, agency, but on the question of whether the internet is a space in which we come together to enjoy, assert, practise and defend universal rights and freedoms you have a lot of agency. Unlike me, you have not yet been defeated.”
