Ahmed Douma back in the headlines as Egypt clamps down on dissent; veteran activist/blogger, born 1988, long prison stint from 2011 protests.
Ahmed Shihab-Eldin has been acquitted of charges including spreading false information and harming national security after 52 days in Kuwaiti detention and has left Kuwait, his legal team and rights groups have said. His arrest had highlighted an expanding crackdown on social media and press coverage in Gulf states since the US-Israel strikes on Iran began in late February.
