UK urges Egypt to resolve hunger striker situation

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Wednesday he would continue to press the Egyptian government to resolve the situation of imprisoned Egyptian-British hunger striker Alaa Abd el-Fattah, Reuters reported.

“I know the whole House will share my deep concern about his case, which grows more urgent by the day,” Sunak told parliament, speaking about the COP27 climate summit in Egypt, where he raised el-Fattah’s case with the Egyptian president.

“We will continue to press the Egyptian government to resolve the situation. We want to see Alaa freed and reunited with his family as soon as possible,” Sunak said.
