Demand Egypt Release Hanan Now! Sign the Petition › Dear friends, When Hanan Badr el-Din’s husband disappeared, her life changed for good. She last saw him on television, wounded and at a hospital after attending a protest in July 2013. But when she went there, she couldn’t find him. Her latest attempt to get information about her husband has seen her arrested — take action now to ask for Hanan Badr el-Din’s release immediately. Hanan searched for her husband at police stations, prisons, hospitals and morgues. No one could tell her what had happened to him. Her husband is one of hundreds of people missing at the hands of Egypt’s security forces. Every day, an estimated three to four people – mostly political activists, students, protesters, even school children as young as 14 – are taken by Egyptian police or military, never to be seen again. Yet the Egyptian government claims that disappearances don’t exist in the country. Take action now to ask that the Egyptian government release Hanan Badr el-Din immediately and unconditionally, dropping all charges against her. Hanan’s determination to find her husband has led her to others whose loved ones have gone missing. In 2014, she co-founded a group tasked with finding the truth behind these disappearances, and is now a leading voice in the search for Egypt’s disappeared. Hanan was not dissuaded in her search to find her husband, and we will not be dissuaded in petitioning for her release. Take action with Amnesty International USA now to ask for Hanan Badr el-Din’s release.
