A British citizen who is over 200 days into a partial hunger strike is now fully refraining from food and will die in weeks if the government does not act.
Without food or water, Alaa Abdel Fattah’s body will begin to shut down, just as British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and other world leaders arrive down the coast in Egypt for the COP27 global climate summit.
“If it is diplomacy as usual, then this is a green light to kill Alaa,” Sanaa Seif, Abdel Fattah’s sister says from her sit-in outside the Foreign Office in Whitehall.
