    Responding to historic tweets, Alaa today says: "I am shaken that, just as I am being reunited with my family for the first time in 12 years, several historic tweets of mine have been republished and used to question and attack my integrity and values, escalating to calls for

    It’s Alaa’s birthday today. He’s turning 42. This is the 10th birthday he spends inside prison, away from his family, away from his son, away from his friends. #FreeAlaa

    Alaa's unbelievably courageous sister @sana2 speaking at #Cop27: she has been imprisoned 3 times in Egypt for struggling to #FreeAlaa "Whatever happens: Alaa has won. The symbolic battle has been won by your show of support. I just hope his body & he is not sacrificed for it"

    Laila Soueif is in hospital still, her body finally failing her, while we all wait for Keir Starmer to pick up the phone and negotiate for Alaa’s release. "Pick up the phone, Prime Minister"

    A message from Laila Soueif from her hospital bed to the thousands of people around the world that have stood with her in solidarity. "I know that whatever happens to me, you are going to get Alaa out of jail."

    Laila was hospitalised last night due to dangerously new lows in her blood sugar, blood pressure and sodium. She is today on her 149th day of hunger strike in protest at her son Alaa's continued wrongful imprisonment in Egypt beyond his sentence. Sanaa took her mother to St

    Alaa's sister @sana2 announcing her sister @Monasosh's decision to go on solidarity hungerstrike: "I have to use my body as a portal to show people what's happening to Alaa. I want them to see with it their own eyes in every meeting I go to." Where are @trussliz & @FCDOGovUK ?

    Laila Soueif, Alaa's mother, has begun a hunger strike to protest her son's continued imprisonment. Yesterday he completed 5 years in prison but has still not been released. “I will not eat again until Alaa is released."

    A heartbreaking update from Alaa’s younger sister, Sanaa who went to visit Alaa in prison in Egypt yesterday on day 120 of their mother, Laila’s hungerstrike, to tell him that Laila’s health is deterioriating. “I saw Alaa today. I went to the prison carrying two plastic chairs

    Today Alaa completes 5 years unjustly in prison. The full length of his sentence after a manifestly illegitimate trial. Alaa should have been released today, but the Egyptian authorities claim he still has more than two years in prison! ENOUGH! #FreeAlaa

    Today is Laila’s 100th day of hunger strike in protest at her son’s continued illegal imprisonment. We are extremely concerned by the lack of urgency being demonstrated by the British government. They seem to be waiting for Laila to be hospitalised before they act decisively to
