Gehad El-Haddad (Arabic: جهاد الحداد; born c.1981) is an Egyptian political activist for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
He worked for the Industrial Modernization Centre and then the Clinton Climate Initiative.
[3] In February 2017, as some reports emerged that the Trump administration was mulling designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organisation,[4] Gehad El-Haddad wrote an op-ed for The New York Times from his prison cell in Tora Prison in Cairo outlining that the MB was not a terrorist organisation but rather a peaceful socio-political organisation.
[5] After writing the op-Ed, he was moved to a disciplinary cell in Scorpion Prison.
[6][7] On 25 October 2019, his brother Abdullah stated that Gehad had lost his ability to walk.
