Ibrahim Halawa was Irish born to Egyptian parents. In 2013 he was on holiday in Egypt with his family when riots broke out. Ibrahim was sheltering in a mosque with his sisters when the mosque was raided. He, along with his sisters were arrested and imprisoned. They were released after three months but Ibrahim was retained for four years.
He was not part of the protest. Regardless of how anyone feels, he is Irish with Egyptian heritage and what happened to him in Egypt was not his fault. Having Egyptian heritage makes him no less Irish than any other person born in Ireland; though I'm sure some would disagree with that.
