On Monday afternoon, a visitor arrived in Sharm el-Sheikh from London who Egyptian government officials would have liked to have sent back immediately: Sanaa Seif is the sister of blogger, author and activist Alaa Abdel Fattah, who for the past ten years spent most of his time in Egyptian prisons. Appeals, petitions and requests to finally release the 40-year-old went unheeded by Egyptian President Abdelfattah al-Sisi.
