Mostafa Alnagar / Mostafa Alnajjarمصطفي النجار; (born 5 May 1980 in Cairo, Egypt) is an Egyptian politician, writer, and dentist who rose to prominence as a key figure in the 2011 Egyptian revolution. A co-founder of the Al-Adl Party, he served as a member of the People's Assembly of Egypt (parliament) in 2012, representing the Nasr City district.
Al-Naggar was a leading theoretician and operator of the "Third Way" current in Egyptian politics, advocating for a civil state that bridges the divide between military rule and Islamism. In December 2017, he was sentenced in absentia to three years in prison on charges of "insulting the judiciary," a verdict stemming from a 2012 parliamentary speech in which he criticized the acquittal of security forces accused of killing protesters. He has been missing since 28 September 2018. While human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and], classify his case as an enforced disappearance, the Egyptian government maintains that he is a fugitive evading his sentence.
