英国-埃及籍女性埃曼·埃尔-沙兹利于8月16日在开罗被捕1。45岁的埃曼是伯明翰居民1，其律师称她的被捕目的是打击其姐姐莫娜的政治活动1。莫娜在英国运营一个拥有13万订户的YouTube频道1，长期批评埃及政府腐败1。英国外交部已确认埃曼被关押在拉美丹改造中心1，并已要求获得探监权，但尚未获得积极回应1。
英国律师阿尔凡·拉希德表示，"有充分证据表明埃曼被捕是为了沉默莫娜"1。埃曼的遭遇并非孤立事件——她有两位哥哥已在监狱服刑三年，并于5月份再次被捕1，他们面临的指控为"在社交媒体上宣传恐怖组织思想以及传播危害国家安全的虚假新闻"1。莫娜在X平台上声称，多达五名家庭成员被埃及当局拘留或骚扰1。莫娜已在英国生活18年1。
英国新任复杂领事案件特使艾利斯泰尔·伯特一个月前被任命1，已与相关案件当事人会面。
A 45-year-old British-Egyptian woman detained in Cairo has become the focus of diplomatic pressure, with her legal representatives arguing her arrest is retaliation for her sister's political commentary. Eman El-Shazly, a resident of Birmingham, was arrested on August 16 in what her lawyer describes as an effort to silence her sister Mona's criticism of the Egyptian government 1. The UK Foreign Office has confirmed that El-Shazly is being held at Ramadan Correction Centre and has demanded visitation rights, though it has not yet received a positive response 1.
Mona operates a YouTube channel from the United Kingdom with 130,000 subscribers that publishes critiques of Egyptian state corruption 1. She has lived in Britain for 18 years 1. According to Mona's posts on X, up to five family members have been detained or harassed by Egyptian authorities 1. Two of the siblings are currently serving prison sentences, having been arrested again in May after already spending three years in custody 1. They face charges of promoting terrorist ideology on social media and spreading false information harmful to national security 1. British lawyer Arfan Rashid stated there is substantial evidence indicating El-Shazly's arrest is intended to suppress Mona's activities 1.
The UK government has recently appointed Alistair Burt as its special envoy for complex consular cases 1. Burt has already met with the brother of Jagtar Singh Johal regarding detained cases 1.
