Alaa Abd el-Fattah ‘will not be stripped of British citizenship’ over past tweets

The Home Office will not revoke the British citizenship of activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah due to his past social media posts, which government sources describe as "abhorrent." These posts do not meet the legal criteria for such a sanction. Abd el-Fattah, a British-Egyptian, arrived in London from Egypt on Boxing Day and has faced scrutiny over tweets he made over a decade ago, including calls for violence against Zionists.
