Clothing to the upper floors? Hang at the windows, a bed sheet, a towel, a poster, write: “Patrick Free Free Patrick, take a picture and put it on social with the hashtag #FreePatrick. Dresses on the ground floor? Put out a poster, an A4 sheet of paper, a t-shirt. And then do the same on the street, in alleys, in the bars. A photo, a sentence, a thought. “We can’t be on the streets, but Patrick can.” And’ the appeal of Amnesty Bologna, with Làbas, to continue to keep a bright spotlight on the story of Patrick George Zaky, the student of the Alma Mater, writing to the master Gem in gender Studies, imprisoned in Egypt since 7 February.
The emergency coronavirus led to the ban of gatherings, and thus also of the processions and of the garrisons. For this Amnesty and friends of patrick have chosen an alternative formula for not dropping the attention on her case and continue to apply pressure so that the young 28-year-old will be released. On march 7, Patrick will appear again in front of the public prosecutor of Mansoura, to answer charges against him: spreading information harmful to the state, propaganda, subversive. Another hearing that will help to understand if his detention will be extended for another 15 days.

In view of the audience Amnesty International has also launched a ‘Twitter storm’ in his favor: today from 9 to 11 the invitation is to dedicate a tweet to Patrick by using the hashtag #FreePatrickZaky. The request is to mention the account of the official spokesman of the Foreign minister and egyptian president Al Sisi.
friends and classmates of Patrick Zaky had launched from the page Facebook “Patrick’s free” e-mail bombs, addressed to the foreign ministry: “we Ask the Italian government recalled the Italian ambassador for consultations and to declare the Egypt of Al-Sisi, who for years has shown to trample on the human rights, the country is not secure”.
The prospects are not positive. “90% of the detention will be renewed,” he said one of his two lawyers, Walid Hassan , contacted by telephone by Ansa. “We are used to this kind of processes. It is difficult to expect that it is put back in freedom,” he added.
