FILE -- In this Dec. 7, 2011 file photo, Hossam Bahgat sits for a photograph, in his office at the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights in Cairo, Egypt. On Sunday, July 18, 2021, Egypt released two activists and a journalist after they spent months in pre-trial detention. The releases came amid an outcry by rights advocates after prosecutors last week referred Hossam Bahgat, a leading Egyptian investigative journalist and human rights advocate, to trial over accusations of insulting the election authority, spreading false news alleging electoral fraud; and using social media to commit crimes, Bahgat said.
