Hazem Hosny
Hazem Hosny (Arabic: حازم حسني; also spelled Hazem Hosni; 1951 – 4 February 2024) was an Egyptian political scientist. He was Professor of Political Science at Cairo University. BackgroundHazem Hosny was born in Cairo, Egypt in 1951.[1] He died on 4 February 2024, at the age of 73.[2] Criticism of SisiHosny criticised the policies of Abdel Fatah al-Sisi with Mahmoud Refaat. In January 2018 he supported Sami Anan's bid to contest Sisi in the 2018 Egyptian presidential election.[3][4] ArrestHosny was arrested without a warrant and held incommunicado in late September 2019 during the 2019 Egyptian protests.[5] His legal defence team called for him to be released immediately.[6] Hosny had earlier described Mohamed Ali, who earlier in September had published a video accusing Sisi of corruption and calling for street protests, as playing a "positive role" and described the new protest movement as having the potential to affect the "international formula that largely determines Sisi's continued rule". Hosny argued in favour of "[stripping] Sisi of his dictatorial control of the Egyptian state".[6] Egyptian authorities released Hosny on 23 February 2021, after he spent about a year and a half in pre-trial detention, under the condition that he stay at home as part of his conditional release.[7] References
