UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer publicly promised Laila Soueif to seek her son Alaa Abd el-Fattah's release. Following this, Laila urged Starmer to engage directly with Egyptian President Sisi. Despite previous correspondence, the UK has not reported recent contact with Egypt. Laila, who has been on a hunger strike since September, faces severe health risks; yet she remains unwavering in her quest for justice for her son, who has endured years of unjust imprisonment. Activists urge the UK to take concrete actions in support of Alaa's release.
"I will do all that I can to secure the release of her son Alaa Abd el-Fattah and reunite him with his family."
"all she wants is for [Alaa] to be free now that he served the full five year sentence, and after they stole 11 years of his and [his son] Khaled's life."
