European Parliament to vote on Ibrahim Halawa case – Boylan

The European Parliament will tomorrow vote on a resolution calling for the immediate release in Egypt of the jailed Irish citizen Ibrahim Halawa. The twenty-year old has been held without trial in Egypt since August 2013. The Egyptian authorities are claiming Ibrahim was involved in violent protests in Cairo in August 2013. However, Amnesty International says the claims are not credible. The Sinn Fein MEP Lynn Boylan who’s been very involved in organising the resolution, says Ibrahim’s mental health is not good.
