He later moved to the United States, where he became actively involved in political activism against the Egyptian government, often using social media platforms to voice his dissent.[2] Saber participated in a hunger strike in New York City to oppose the Egyptian government’s decision to sentence 12 activists to death at mass trial of over 700 defendants, without evidence to justify the conviction.[3]
