        We’re joining GCHR, FairSquare + others to tell UK PM Keir Starmer: keep up the pressure + act now to free Alaa Abd el-Fattah, who’s unjustly behind bars. His mother, Laila Soueif, is back on a near-total hunger strike after months of protest. #FreeAlaa
 
        FairSquare's James Lynch: “Alaa and his family have been through a terrible ordeal lasting more than a decade – it’s beyond time for that to come to an end... We hope to see him released and reunited with his son in Brighton without delay.” fairsq.org/alaa-abd-el-fa…
