Laila Soueif, the mother of imprisoned activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah, has recommenced her hunger strike, having previously consumed a liquid supplement during a temporary halt. For 233 days, her protest has not only emphasized her son's ongoing imprisonment but also the severe personal toll it has taken on her health—having lost 36 kg. Despite prior discussions between Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Egyptian President Sisi, Laila expresses frustration over the lack of tangible progress towards securing her son's release and has made the decision to forego nutrition completely once again to amplify her message to the UK government.
