Khalid Abdel Nasser

In February 2011, during the Egyptian Revolution of 2011, Nasser joined pro-democracy demonstrations in Tahrir Square against Mubarak and his regime. According to The Telegraph, Nasser's participation "was seen as helping to give the revolution a posthumous stamp of approval from an iconic Egyptian hero. Later that year, on 30 August he fell into a coma ending in his death at age 61 in a Cairo hospital on 15 September. He is survived by three children.

In the mid-1990s following international sanctions against Iraq, Nasser received $16.6 million worth of Saddam Hussein's oil vouchers in the Oil-for-Food Programme, more than anyone else in Egypt, according to the list of beneficiaries. He later became a professor at Cairo University's Faculty of Engineering, a job which he held for the remainder of his life.

In later years, Nasser became a vocal critic of Sadat, and his presidential successor, Hosni Mubarak, both of whose policies had diverged significantly from those of Gamal Abdel Nasser. In 1988, he was accused of being part of a secret leftist organization, Egypt Revolution [ar] ("Thawret Misr,") a Nasserist group that violently opposed the 1979 Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel. The Mubarak government sought the death penalty in a case which accused Nasser of trying to overthrow the Egyptian government, and of involvement in a spate of assassinations and bombings. The case eventually became a test of strength between the judiciary and the executive when judges threw out much of the case, accusing police and prosecutors of collusion in torturing the defendants.

Khalid Abdel Nasser (Arabic: خالد عبد الناصر, also spelled Khalid 'Abd al-Nasir; 13 December 1949 – 15 September 2011) was the eldest son of Egypt's second President Gamal Abdel Nasser and his wife Tahia Kazem.

Nasser was born in 1949. He is a graduate of Cairo University and Cambridge University where he studied civil engineering.
