Following the 2011 Egyptian Revolution that toppled Mubarak, Issac became a member of the Constitution Party and a critic of President Mohamed Morsi, elected in 2012. He was a member of the Coptic Catholic Church.

Early years Born and raised in Port Said, Isaac graduated from Cairo University with a BA in history and began his career as a history teacher, headmaster and later as a consultant.

It was a platform for protest against Hosni Mubarak’s presidency; political corruption, and stagnation; "the blurring of the lines between power and wealth; and human rights."

During the 2012 Egyptian protests, Isaac urged President Mohamed Morsi to withdraw his constitutional declaration.

Isaac was a member of the National Council for Human Rights.
