The Foreign Affairs Minister says Ibrahim Halawa may be released from an Egyptian prison on humanitarian grounds.
The Dubliner’s been in jail since his arrest in 2013 at a protest – his trial was adjourned today for the 21st time.
Yesterday the Taoiseach revealed he’d written to the Egyptian President requesting the release of the 21-year-old following a medical examination by an Irish doctor.
