American Starving in Egyptian Prison | ||
April 18, 2014 Dear Activist, Mohamed Soltan is a 26-year-old US citizen who graduated from Ohio State University with a degree in economics. But now, he is literally starving in an Egyptian prison. Email the State Department and Egyptian Embassy calling on them to free Mohamed now! Mohamed joined the peaceful protests in Egypt against the coup that overthrew democratically elected President Morsi. He was shot at a protest and arrested a few days later. He needed surgery for his wound so another prisoner performed the surgery on the dirty prison floor using pliers. Mohamed's trial dates have been postponed over and over again. He has been in jail for over 230 days and he has been on a hunger strike for the past 80 days. He is now so weak he can't walk and his family is very concerned about how long he can last on this hunger strike. Please help Mohamed by emailing the State Department and Egyptian Embassy calling on them to intercede on Mohamed's behalf.
Every action counts, and each day his health deteriorates. Please act now. Thank you for taking a stand for Mohamed. It means a lot to his family. |
