Dr. Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh Abdel Hady (Arabic: عبد المنعم أبو الفتوح عبد الهادي, pronounced [ʕæbdelˈmenʕem abu lfʊˈtuːħ ʕæbdelˈhæːdi] or [ʕæbdelˈmonʕem]; born 15 October 1951) is an Egyptian physician, former student activist and a politician.

He is known for his staunch opposition to the Sadat and Mubarak regimes as well as his openness towards people of different political ideologies, a subject of controversy among some supporters of Egyptian Islamist movements.

In 2011, he formally quit all political work with the Muslim Brotherhood and resigned from its membership, following his decision to run for president in the presidential election in 2012.

He was arrested on 14 February 2018 upon his return from London following an interview he gave to Al Jazeera in which he criticised the rule of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.

While president of the student union at Cairo University, Abou al-Fotouh famously debated with Anwar Sadat.

[5] When he was the head of Cairo University's student union, Abou al-Fotouh had a discussion with President Anwar Sadat.
