"....Hussein is being held in conditions that violate his human rights. Recent footage of him outside an Egyptian court appeared to show he had lost weight owing to the harsh conditions of his detention.
......


The Al Jazeera Media Network has demanded that Egypt unconditionally release Hussein and condemned the continued renewal of his detention, which has been extended five times, with the last renewal order issued on March 18.

Several leading human rights and media organisations have also criticised his detention.
........

"As Egypt has put forward no compelling evidence for the alleged crimes, Mr Hussein must be released immediately and all charges against him dropped."

.......

Hussein faces a fabricated allegation of "disseminating false news and receiving monetary funds from foreign authorities in order to defame the state's reputation".

Al Jazeera has rejected all the allegations against him and condemned those who forced him into false "confessions" made on video.

Hussein was held in solitary confinement for more than two months, during which time he was denied visits, including by his lawyers.
......

It has also been heavily critical of a smear campaign against Hussein, which is being carried through local media outlets - a practice that violates international law.".....(more)
