Tragic news from Egypt as it is reported that Samir Younis, a 67-year-old Egyptian academic, has passed away in prison after being extradited from Kuwait five years ago. Younis, a former university professor at Egypt’s Helwan University, had been working in Kuwait for over 25 years.

He was convicted by the Egyptian government for allegedly being associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, facing accusations of disrupting constitutional laws, hindering state institutions, and damaging national unity.

Younis’ trial was criticized by human rights organizations for lacking fairness and transparency. This unfortunate incident sheds light on the challenges faced by individuals affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

Our thoughts are with Samir Younis and his family during this difficult time.
