Egyptian-Palestinian activist Ramy Shaath was headed for France today after almost two and a half years in detention in Egypt, his family said, adding that he had to renounce his Egyptian nationality.

Shaath’s wife, French national Celine Lebrun, was deported from Egypt shortly after her husband’s arrest in July 2019 on charges of aiding a terrorist organisation.In December, five human rights groups called on French President Emmanuel Macron to pressure Egypt to release Shaath.
