Having lost a third of her body weight during a 134-day hunger strike, a "weak" Laila Soueif on Monday urged UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to secure her son's release from an Egyptian jail, warning "I don't have time".
Soueif, 68, has lived on coffee, tea and rehydration sachets since September 29, 2024, the date that marked five years of imprisonment, when pre-trial detention is taken into account, for her UK-Egyptian son Alaa Abdel Fattah.
