Freed Egyptian Human Rights Campaigner Arrives In Italy - Bologna

Egyptian activist Patrick Zaki, alongside his grilfriend is honored by University of Bologna, Italy on July 23, 2023. Zaki was pardoned by Egypt's President on July 19, 2023, a day after his three-year jail term sparked an outcry from local rights groups and Western governments. He was jailed over a 2019 article recounting the discrimination that he and other members of Egypt's Coptic Christian minority say they have suffered. Zaki, a researcher was studying at Bologna University in Italy until his arrest in 2020 while on a visit to Egypt. Photo by Corrispondente Bologna/LiveMedia/IPA/ABACAPRESS.COM
