The prize-winning Egyptian novelist and short-story writer, Bahaa Taher, has died aged 87.
Born in Cairo in 1935, he wrote a number of critically acclaimed books - some turned into TV dramas.
In the mid-1970s the author became active in left-wing literary circles and was banned from publishing under President Anwar Sadat’s government.
In 2008 Taher won the first-ever International Prize for Arabic Fiction, for his novel The Oasis of Sunset.
