[Localization] Alaa update

[Chris Leonard]

Pavlos,

Thank you for the update.  That is very disturbing news.

Alaa and his wife have contributed a great deal to the tools that make
it possible to do our job,  Please reach out to your national
governments and ask them to put pressure on the Egyptian government to
stop violating the human rights of this long-suffering family that has
also done much for their homeland through peaceful political dissent.
