Mohammed Ahmed Ali Abdel-Hameed

Extra Bio Info:

Mohammed Ahmed Ali Abdel-Hameed is detained for his religious association. 

In March 2025, Egyptian authorities detained Abdel-Hameed along with over a dozen members of the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light after one member hung a banner displaying a religious symbol on a pedestrian bridge. Authorities charged Abdel-Hameed with membership in a banned group and confined him in the 10th Ramadan prison. 

In December 2025, sheikhs from the state-backed Al-Azhar religious authority tried to coerce Abdel-Hameed to renounce his faith. Egyptian authorities denied Abdel-Hameed access to legal counsel and beat him severely during detention.
