Free Dr Hend
Save Dr Hend from deportation to Egypt where she faces torture and execution.
Having supported and treated prisoners and given them access to lawyers in Egypt as well as having witnessed two massacres in Egypt, she became informed that she would be arrested in Egypt for her political activism.
Dr Hend fled her country to Sweden. In Sweden, her applications for asylum kept being delayed, and CAGE supported her applications through our casework team. When she was arrested in Sweden and threatened with deportation, CAGE accelerated this to a campaign.
