US EditionA mother pleads for Britain’s help in freeing son from Egyptian prison, one day of hunger at a time
- Laila Soueif is on day 129 of a hunger strike, advocating for her son Alaa Abd El-Fattah's release from an Egyptian prison, where he has been held for over five years on charges of "spreading false news" on social media.
- Abd El-Fattah, a prominent pro-democracy activist, has faced multiple imprisonments since participating in the 2011 uprising, and his latest trial resulted in a five-year sentence that extends to January 2027.
- Soueif has lost 25 kilos during her hunger strike and has camped outside the British Prime Minister's office, urging the U.K. Government to press Egypt for her son's release.
- The U.K. Foreign Office continues to advocate for Abd El-Fattah's release, while Soueif believes that the current political climate offers a chance for more support from Britain.
