A Palestinian writer, Bisan Al-Adwan, has been deported from Egypt after having been detained in the police cell for a whole week.

Bisan, who has lived in the Egypt since her childhood and manages the Ibn Rushd Printing and Publishing House, was on 13th of February, honored by Egypt’s writer’s Union with an award.

However, she was detained after going to renew her residency permit last week.

“The Al-Sisi regime has become increasingly antiPalestinian and closer to Israel,” Bisan wrote in a facebook post

“The regime has ramped up rhetoric against dual Egyptian-Palestinian citizens and accused prisoners of financing terror groups in Palestine,” she added.

Bisan was not involved in political activity and would work to return to Egypt as her elderly mother who she lived with and cared for is living alone now.
