Keir Starmer ignores calls to deport Alaa Abd El-Fattah by ‘welcoming return’ of Egyptian activist

Sir Keir Starmer has “welcomed” the return of Alaa Abd El-Fattah after the Egyptian activist spent years in prison.

The Prime Minister, who was not aware of the 44-year-old’s social media posts, appears to have ignored calls to deport Fattah after it revealed he had called for the murder of Zionists and voiced his hatred for white people.

“We welcome the return of a British citizen unfairly detained abroad,” a No10 spokesman said.

“However, we have condemned the nature of these historic tweets and find them abhorrent.”

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
