Laila has been on a hunger strike for 60 days, fighting for her son Alaa Abd el-Fattah's freedom as Egypt's most notable political prisoner.
Alaa Abd el-Fattah is a significant figure, having served two five-year sentences for a 15-minute silent protest and sharing a Facebook post.
Despite expectations for his release on September 29, Alaa remained incarcerated, confirming fears that authorities would never let him go.
Laila's hunger strike symbolizes her resolve to create a crisis the authorities must confront for her son's freedom, even at the cost of her life.
