High-level US-Egypt meeting lifts hopes of jailed activist's family

Aya and Mohamed’s trial resumed on Saturday February 19, 2017 and lasted for 6 days, including time for the defense lawyers to finally present their case and three witnesses. Today marks the 1,033 days in prison.

A verdict is possibly expected on March 23, 2016.

Wade McMullen, managing attorney at Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights speaks to Al Jazeera English on February 26, 2017 saying that the prosecution’s lack of evidence “speaks to how political and how trumped up the charges were from the beginning.”
