Halawa supporters calling for Government action

The family of Ibrahim Halawa has called on the Irish people to lobby the Taoiseach in support of the imprisoned Dubliner.

They're urging us to email the Taoiseach, asking him to put pressure on Egypt to release the 21 year old.

Egypt's President el-Sisi has recently released around 80 prisoners, and has suggested he may release more soon.

Ibrahim's sister Somaia Halawa hopes putting pressure on Enda Kenny could produce results.
