EGYPTAhmad Ibrahim al-Sayyid al-Naggar

Ahmed Ibrahim al-Sayyid al-Naggar was executed by hanging at al-Isti’naf prison in Cairo on 23 February 2000.

Ahmad Ibrahim al-Sayyid al-Naggar had been sentenced to death in absentia in an unfair trial before the Supreme Military Court in Cairo in October 1997. He had been charged with, among other things, membership of a secret organization, al-Gihad (Holy Struggle) and possession of weapons.

Many thanks to all who sent appeals on his behalf.
