The Sinn Fein MEP Lynn Boylan is calling on the Irish government to demand an immediate independent medical assessment of the Irish citizen Ibrahim Halawa. The twenty-year old is on a phased hunger strike in an Egyptian prison. He has been detained there since August 2013, after authorities claimed he took part in violent protests in Cairo. His trial has been postponed 13 (thirteen) times with the next hearing re-scheduled to June. Ms Boylan says Mr Halawa’s health is deteriorating.
