Patrick Zaki, in Rome the work of street artist Laika protest for detention

Street artist Laika celebrates Patrick Zaki’s thirtieth birthday by calling attention to the boy’s detention. This morning in Rome, in via Salaria, near the entrance to the Egyptian embassy, ​​a new poster by the artist was posted. The work, entitled “Don’t visit Egypt”, is a reinterpretation of an old Egyptian poster that promoted tourism: in the background you can see the shadow of a soldier beating a person. Above, the words “45 days special offer” are shown, a clear reference to the case of Patrick Zaki, imprisoned in Egyptian prisons since February 2020 and still awaiting trial, which is returned to him every 45 days.
