Mamlaka ya Misri imemwachilia mwanaharakati mashuhuri wa kisiasa anayetumikia kifungo cha miaka minne kwa tuhuma za ugaidi ambazo watetezi wa haki wameziona hazina msingi. Kuachiliwa kwa Hossam Monis kulikuja baada ya kuachiliwa kwa wafungwa kadhaa wa hadhi ya juu, siku chache kabla ya mwisho wa mwezi mtukufu wa Ramadhani, ambao kwa kawaida ni wakati wa msamaha.
Monis alikamatwa mnamo Juni 2019, pamoja na watu wengine saba, akiwemo Zyad el-Elaimy, mbunge wa zamani, na wanaharakati wakuu wa kidini katika maasi ya 2011 nchini humo. Kukamatwa kwao kulikuja muda mfupi baada ya kukutana na vyama vya siasa na wabunge wa upinzani kujaribu na kuharakisha jinsi ya kushiriki katika uchaguzi wa wabunge wa 2020.
Mwaka jana, Mahakama ya Dharura ya Usalama ya Jimbo la Misdemeanors huko Cairo ilimpata Monis na washtakiwa wengine na hatia ya kula njama ya kutenda uhalifu na kundi lililoharamishwa - kumbukumbu ya Muslim Brotherhood, ambayo Misri imepiga marufuku kama shirika la kigaidi. Monis na Hisham Fouad, mwanaharakati mwingine na mwanahabari, walihukumiwa kifungo cha miaka minne jela kila mmoja huku el-Elaimy akipokea kifungo cha miaka mitano.

Egyptian authorities have released a prominent political activist serving a four-year sentence on terror charges that rights advocates have deemed baseless.
Hossam Monis’s release came on the heels of the release of several high-profile detainees, days before the end of the holy month of Ramadan, which is typically a time of amnesty.
It followed a pardon by President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi on Wednesday.
Following the news, images of Monis hugging friends and family outside the prison walls flooded social media.
Prominent film director Khaled Youssef posted a photograph of himself and former presidential candidate Hamdeen Sabahi with Monis as soon as he walked free.
Opposition leader Khaled Dawoud wrote on his Facebook page that Monis got into a car with his mother and headed home after his release.
Monis was arrested in June 2019, along with seven other people, including Zyad el-Elaimy, a former legislator, and key secular activists in the country’s 2011 uprising.
Their arrests came shortly after they had met political parties and opposition legislators to try and hash out how to run in the 2020 parliamentary elections.
