"Mr President, Ibrahim Halawa and myself have a number of things in common. Two of them are that we are Irish citizens and we are European citizens. In that context, and crucially because Ibrahim Halawa was a minor when he was detained, I would ask the Egyptian authorities to unconditionally and immediately release Ibrahim Halawa to the Irish authorities.
I use those words ‘immediately and unconditionally’ because Ibrahim Halawa has spent 849 days in prison and his trial has been adjourned ten times. I use those words ‘immediately and unconditionally’ because Ibrahim Halawa has been declared a prisoner of conscience by Amnesty International. I use those words because Ibrahim Halawa, along with 493 individuals, awaits a mass trial without any guarantee of a free and fair trial.
Finally, I use those words ‘immediately and unconditionally’ because the Irish Government has requested his release under Presidential Decree Law 140. Finally, I acknowledge and commend the diplomatic and consular efforts of the Irish authorities and many of my MEP colleagues, who have raised this issue in Parliament on a number of occasions, and in particular my colleague Lynn Boylan, who has ensured that his name and his case will be remembered."@en1
