Writer and activist Alaa Abd El Fattah's name has been removed from travel ban lists by a public prosecutor's decision, lawyer Khaled Ali announced in a Facebook post on Saturday. The move followed a complaint Ali filed on November 13. It comes after Abd El Fattah's release from prison in late September under a presidential pardon.
