A letter signed by more than 100 MPs and lords is to be submitted to Foreign Secretary James Cleverly calling for fresh action to help free pro-democracy activist Alaa Abd El-Fattah, who has been incarcerated in Egypt for most of the past decade.
The mother of the 40-year-old British-Egyptian writer, mathematician Laila Soueif, will lead a vigil held by Amnesty International UK as the letter is presented to the Foreign and Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO) on Monday.
