Laila Soueif is currently on her 77th day of a hunger strike, losing 22kg, demanding her son Alaa Abd el-Fattah’s release from unjust imprisonment.
More than 100 MPs and peers have urged the Foreign Secretary to act, arguing that Abd el-Fattah has served his sentence under the law.
The Egyptian government does not recognize Abd el-Fattah's British nationality, preventing consular officials from visiting him in prison.
Concerns grow as a UK-Egypt arms deal was approved just a week after discussions on Abd el-Fattah's release took place with the former Foreign Secretary.
