In the United States, the White House said President Joe Biden will attend the United Nations Climate Change Conference, dubbed COP27, in the Egyptian city of Sharm el-Sheikh on November 11, as part of an overseas trip that will also take you to Cambodia. and Indonesia. Biden’s journey comes as human rights activists continue to push for the release of all political prisoners in Egypt ahead of the climate summit. Among them is human rights activist Alaa Abd El-Fattah, who has been on a hunger strike for more than 200 days to protest the dire conditions he faces in Egyptian prisons. His sister and human rights defender Mona Seif said on social media that his brother would stop consuming his 100 calories a day and start a water strike starting this Sunday, the date that marks the start of the COP27 climate conference. On Facebook, Seif wrote: “This means if no urgent intervention takes place, Alaa will be dead before #Cop27 ends. This is the measure of someone who has reached his limit after nearly nine years of arbitrarily imprisoned.” Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg will not attend the COP27 climate conference, and has accused the summit of misleading the public into believing that major polluters are committed to fighting climate change.
