Sherif Gaber is one of Egypt's most famous critics of religion, and perhaps the most famous persecuted Ex-Muslim atheist. Gaber's troubles with the government began when he was arrested in 2013 for his Facebook posts critical of the government and religion, leading to a year in prison. He has since gained a large following on YouTube for his critiques of religion, despite being in hiding since his second arrest in 2018. The Egyptian government prohibited him from leaving the country and took away his passport, forcing him to share his story of surviving while on the run in a powerful new video titled "Banned From Leaving - A Message from Sherif Gaber." In the video Sherif shares insight into his internal experience of sadnesses and frustration with his situation: “I see my life passing before my eyes. One year and then another, without being able to do what I want. Or experience life. Or see the things that I want to see. I'm not happy. Because I'm living in an environment that stole and is still stealing the days of my life. And I can't do anything to prevent that.” He also stated that “The second reason behind this video is a message to those who think about giving up on their lives because I don't think there's a better time to say these words. Because I am not saying it from a place of comfort. I'm speaking to you from hell itself. So my words are honest. I want you to notice the position I am in. I am now facing the most difficult problem of my life. However, I will not give up. Because life, no matter how hard it is, is worth living.” By the end of his video, Gaber said that he wouldn't upload any videos on YouTube until he had left Egypt. Still, he reassured his followers by saying he'll continue to update them through his social media accounts.
