Economist, journalist, and writer Abdel Khaleq Fraoud was first arrested in October 2018 following the release of his book Is Egypt Really a Poor Country?, which questioned the government’s economic policies and the military’s grip on power since 1952. On October 20, 2024, Farouk was arrested again on national security charges for ciriticizing President Sisi’s economic policies in more than 40 articles published on his Facebook. His pretrial detention has been repeatedly renewed since then.
