The family of Alaa Abd el-Fattah, a British-Egyptian activist imprisoned in Egypt, is alarmed for both his and his mother Laila Soueif's health, as they continue their hunger strikes. Soueif has been striking for months, desperate for her son's release, highlighting the emotional toll of their situation. Fattah has suffered severe medical issues while imprisoned and worries for his mother's well-being, as she is on a prolonged hunger strike. The family calls on British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to address their plight and intervene with Egyptian authorities, but feel their exasperated cries are being ignored.
Fattah, who is imprisoned near Cairo, received medical treatment for vomiting and severe stomach pains after over 55 days on a hunger strike.
Soueif declared her desperation, expressing that they feel powerless, saying, 'What are we supposed to do, just sit around and wait to die?'
The Egyptian authorities claim Alaa Fattah's sentence for terrorism charges will end in January 2027, despite continued pleas for his release.
Soueif has grown increasingly desperate as she urges the British Prime Minister to intervene, stating she feels ignored in their fight for freedom.
