The mother of jailed activist Alaa Abd El Fattah, Laila Soueif, has been on a hunger strike for 151 days, facing severe health risks. At 68, this British citizen has consumed only water and minimal sustenance in her fight for her son's release from an Egyptian prison, after he was refused release after serving a five-year sentence. Her actions aim to press the British government to leverage diplomatic channels for his freedom. As her health declines, Soueif remains determined, stating she is creating a crisis for greater attention to her cause.
I’m creating a crisis,' Ms. Soueif said in an interview, emphasizing the urgency of her hunger strike to secure her son’s freedom.
Laila Soueif, who has been on a hunger strike for 151 days, is at high risk of sudden death, according to her doctor.
