Foreign Office orders review of 'failures' in British-Egyptian activist case

The British government is reviewing "information failures" in the case of British-Egyptian activist Alaa Abd El Fattah, following a controversy over historical tweets deemed "abhorrent." Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper acknowledged lapses in due diligence and apologized for the distress caused to the Jewish community by the tweets. Calls to strip Abd El Fattah of UK citizenship and deport him have been met with criticism and an ongoing probe to ensure proper procedures in such cases in the future.
