Imprisoned, Threatened, Murdered, and Jailed Writers( PEN International and Amnesty International ) Using Life

His imprisonment marks the first time in modern Egypt that an author has been jailed for a work of literature. Writers and literary organizations around the world rallied to support Naji, and he was released in December 2016. His original conviction was overturned in May 2017.
