There's a huge wave of arrests in Egypt right now following a wave of protests, and it seems like they'e just going down a list, arresting prominent(ish) people from 2011/2012 (many of whom already did years in jail) despite the fact that a *new* generation is out in the streets.https://twitter.com/Beltrew/status/1178312435503112192 …

Heartbreaking news #Egypt has once again detained @alaa - they already arrested Maheinour. 2300+ others arrested, over half ordered into pre-trial detention which in #Egypt can go on indefinitely. Why must they jail their brightest and best? Why do Egypt’s allies care so little?
