As a strong critic of Hosni Mubarak’s regime and defender of minority-rights, Ibrahim has been sentenced several times by Egyptian justice and prosecuted by Mubarak’s police. Fearing for his safety, he now lives in the United States, wherefrom he continues to collaborate with several Arab newspapers. He is the founder of both the Ibn Khaldoun Center for Development Studies and the Arab organization for Human Rights. After last Christmas’ events in Alexandria and today’s growing tensions over presidential succession in Egypt, ResetDoc has interviewed Saad Ibrahim.
