Jailed MB Blogger Monem Mahmoud Visits Critically Ill Father

Under heavy security, jailed MB blogger and journalist Abdel Monem Mahmoud was allowed to visit his critically ill father in his house in Alexandria on Friday. Monem submitted a request to the Interior Ministry to grant him the visit, which the government later approved. Monem visited his bed ridden father today in what was described as highly emotional visit, after which Monem was taken to his prison cell in Cairo.

Monem’s father is suffering of liver cirrhosis and failure and is gravely ill. Monem was the primary caregiver for his father and his absence has significantly undermined his father’s medical care.
