Laila Soueif's hunger strike, now at 55 days, highlights the dire situation of political prisoners in Egypt, with many fearing indefinite detention under a repressive regime.
The crux of my hunger strike is to create a crisis and make visible the plight of my son Alaa and the many political prisoners in Egypt.
With Egyptian authorities refusing to acknowledge his past pretrial detention, Alaa Abd El Fattah's expected release in 2027 raises concern about continued incarceration beyond that date.
Laila Soueif emphasizes her determination to continue her protest until her son is free, signifying a personal and political stand against systemic oppression.
