Already faced with the prospect of spending several years in overcrowded and often violent jails, Egypt s political prisoners are often charged with crimes they allegedly committed while behind bars.

Solafa Magdy, 33, a journalist, and her husband Hossam el-Sayed, a photojournalist, were arrested in November 2019 from a cafe in an upmarket Cairo suburb along with a mutual friend.
