An Australian man who was arrested while on an overseas holiday with his young family and imprisoned for 10 months in a notorious Egyptian jail has been released. Waled Youssef, 45, emigrated to Sydney in his mid-twenties where he established a cement rendering business - becoming an Australian citizen but also retaining his Egyptian passport. He was arrested while sightseeing on January 14 and thrown into a Cairo prison, called one of the worst jails in the world, where he shared a squalid cell with 17 other inmates during the deadly [/news/coronavirus/index.html coronavirus] pandemic. Mr Youssef and wife Fadia (pictured) have two young boys who have not seen their father in more than 10 months Waled Youssef, 45, is a dual Australian and Egyptian citizen who runs a cement rendering business in Sydney after migrating to the country (pictured with wife Fadia) On October 14, a court ordered Mr Youssef released after spending the majority of 2020 locked up in facility on charges he was affiliated with a banned political group, reports [ ]. The charges - which his legal team have emphatically rejected, saying he is not politically active - arose after Egyptian authorities examined his Facebook history and found he liked a post by a presidential candidate in 2012. The political candidate was also imprisoned in Egypt after his unsuccessful campaign. 'I never would have expected a trip to visit my family would see me thrown into Tora prison,' Mr Youssef said in a statement through his lawyers who have been working towards his release. 'It was the most harrowing 10 months of my life. I just want to heal and recover from this unbelievable and horrendous experience ... I am so relieved to finally be home.'

A former special forces soldier turned fashion designer was filled with pride when he saw Australia's top spy wearing a jacket he created while rescuing academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert from her Iranian jail. Mark Wales was watching the prisoner swap on the news last week when he noticed Nick Warner, the 70-year-old director general of the Australian Secret Intelligence Service, wearing a leather Kill Kapture jacket as he escorted Dr Moore-Gilbert into a van. Mr Wales, from the Pilbara region of Western Australia, created the brand in New York after retiring from a distinguished SAS career which included ten tours of duty with four in [/news/afghanistan/index.html Afghanistan]. Mark Wales (pictured in the field), from the Pilbara region of Western Australia, created the Kill Kapture brand in New York after retiring from a distinguished SAS career Mr Wales (pictured) created his brand after 16 years in the military. Australia's spy boss wore one of his jackets during a prisoner swap Mr Warner's decision to wear the brand, which closely identifies with special operations forces, could be interpreted as a subtle tribute to Australia's dedicated and law-abiding soldiers who have been shocked by war crimes allegations reported last week. Mr Wales, who spent 16 years in the military including six in special ops, told Daily Mail Australia he was 'proud as anything' when he saw Mr Warner wearing his design. 'I replayed the footage because I was looking at the guy leaning forward in the van and I was thinking the seam of the back of that jacket looks like one of mine,' he said. 'And then when he turned I saw the chevrons on the neck and I thought "oh sh***" that's Nick Warner in my jacket. 'I thought ''that's really cool'' and I was proud as anything to see it in the mix overseas.' Mr Wales revealed that Mr Warner's wife had bought her husband the $1,500 jacket for a birthday present. Mr Wales met his wife Samantha (pictured together) when they both starred on Australian Survivor in 2017.

The jacket, which features three chevrons on the neck and a tracking system in case it gets lost, is marketed at former troops and other men of action. Australia's special forces have faced scrutiny after a four-year ADF inquiry last week reported evidence of 39 murders of civilians or prisoners by 25 Aussies serving in Afghanistan from 2009 to 2016. The Chief of the Army last week revealed that 13 members face the sack after being handed administrative action notices proposing to terminate their employment.

Mr Wales believes Australia's special forces were overused in Afghanistan and as a result soldiers were ground down and psychologically scarred. 'The psychological impact of repeated, violent episodes in warfighting started to fracture our forces,' he wrote in an opinion piece for [ ] after the Brereton report was handed down.

Mr Wales, who is not under investigation, said the allegations of unlawful killings were 'evil' and 'inexcusable' but argued the 'decision-makers that green-lighted this mess of a war, year after year, are just as culpable.' Dr Moore-Gilbert (pictured) was jailed for 10 years in Iran but Australia rescued her He said he feels 'terrible' that his service has been tarnished by the actions of a minority. Dr Moore-Gilbert, an Islamic studies lecturer with British and Australian citizenship, was arrested at Tehran Airport in September 2018. She was charged with espionage and jailed for 10 years after a secret trial. The Australian government rejected her conviction and negotiated her release in exchange for three Iranian terrorists who were jailed in Thailand. When Dr Moore-Gilbert was released after surviving 804 days in Iran's worst prisons, she thanked the Australian government for 'working tirelessly' to secure her freedom. Mr Warner, who was Australia's ambassador to Iran from 1994 to 1997, was said to have played a pivotal role in the negotiations, using his diplomatic contacts. The 70-year-old, who will retire in December, caused a stir in 2017 when he famously posed with Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte while copying the strongman's signature move of a raised fist. It is not suggested that Mr Warner in any way supports or condones the alleged carrying out of war crimes by members of the SASR, only that he may be supportive of the SASR as an institution.
