Irish Teenager [sic] Jailed and Tortured in Egypt Faces Death Sentence in Days
3rd June 2016
An Irish student who was arrested while on holiday in Egypt has been told he could be sentenced to death by the end of the month over a protest he attended in 2013.
Ibrahim Halawa, from Dublin, was 17 at the time of his arrest, and has detailed his horrific treatment at the hands of the Egyptian authorities in a letter handed to The Independent by the human rights charity Reprieve.
Just because you’re ‘from Dublin’ doesn’t make you an ‘Irish teenager’. Anyone who thinks that someone named Ibrahim Halawa is Irish needs professional help.
