My good friend Lamisse Hamouda wins the national biography award with her extraordinary memoir, "The Shape of Dust". I am super proud of her for this win. The book is the story her dad's imprisonment in #Egypt. Somehow oddly familiar... sl.nsw.gov.au/awards/nationa…

Best. News. Ever! The Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich is at last a free man, alongside Alsu Kurmasheva from Radio Free Europe in the biggest prisoner swap since the Cold War. So many emotions, but the big one is joy for all freed from hostage diplomacy. abc.net.au/news/2024-08-0…

'Alaa Abd el-Fattah: UK government must act to free citizen jailed in Egypt' ✍️ Opinion by Peter Greste pulse.ly/gjkktecip3

Peter Greste, a journalist formerly imprisoned alongside Alaa, has written a powerful piece calling on the new Foreign Secretary David Lammy to take meaningful action to bring Alaa home. Thank you @petergreste for your support. middleeasteye.net/opinion/alaa-a…

Thanks ASPI for the opportunity to talk about a serious and rising problem.

It was an honour to have a chance to write about Alaa’s case. I just hope the new British government is paying attention.

Well, it's not every day that this happens... "The Correspondent" -- a brilliant film based on my book, The First Casualty, is opening the @adlFilmFest on Oct 23. "Excited" doesn't begin to describe it...
