Default Irish Delegates visit Cairo to try and secure Irish mans release

Poor guy, I hope this works. basically he was arrested in Cairo when he was 17/18 for being part of a protest and he's been there since, he's not even had a trial yet, his trial dates have been cancelled something like 17 times

Ibrahim Halawa described as "strong and very brave" as TDs meet him in Cairo jail


IBRAHIM HALAWA HAS told a delegation of Irish politicians who visited him today in a Cairo prison that he wants to return home to Dublin.
Halawa has been jailed without trial in Egypt for almost three-and-a-half years after 17 different court dates arrived before being postponed.
An Oireachtas delegation travelled to Egypt yesterday as part of efforts to secure his release and today they met the 21-year-old at a high security prison about 90 mins drive outside of the capital Cairo.
Green Party leader Eamon Ryan TD was among those who met Halawa today and said that he seemed strong and “very forthright” in his desire to return home.
“First of all, it was very stressful situation,” Ryan told TheJournal.ie.

At last!


Ibrahim Halawa 'absolutely delighted' after he is acquitted of all charges in Egypt
'Ibrahim always wished for it but finally he got it' - family's delight at verdict
Four year process ends after multiple delays and adjournments
Taoiseach and Foreign Affairs Minister welcome verdict
Hopes Ibrahim could be home as early as the weekend
Amnesty International: 'Nothing can ever excuse the horrific ordeal that Ibrahim has endured'



He was arrested along with hundreds of other individuals during peaceful protests against the ousting of former president Mohamed Morsi.

The trial process had been beset by more than 30 adjournments but a verdict was finally delivered today.

Declan Walsh, Cairo bureau chief of the New York Times, said: "Irish citizen Ibrahim Halawa and his three sisters have been acquitted of all charges by an anti-terrorism court outside Cairo."

Speaking on RTE Radio Mr Walsh said Ibrahim was jumping for joy and "absolutely delighted" with the result.
Somaia Halawa, Ibrahim's sister, watched the verdict being delivered with her family in Dublin and said that today's result has surpassed all their expectations.

"We weren't expecting it to get an innocent verdict.. Ibrahim always wished for it but finally he got it. Even in all his letters he said I know I haven't done anything, I know I should be proven innocent," she told Independent.ie.
But the family did not think it was plausible that an innocent verdict could be handed down "after having [a person] in prison for four years and then saying he has been proven innocent" Somaia said.

When her brother's name was called and the verdict read out the family erupted into "screaming and crying".

Must be such a relief for his family, I was listening to the radio this morning before the verdict was announced and no one knew what to expect, they were even saying they could decide to execute them, crazy how their legal system works

....and ?

Do you actually know anything about what was happening in Egypt in 2013 ? I'd guess not but i'm willing to be proved wrong.

This thread is about a Irish man who was being held with very little reason in Egypt for taking part in a peaceful protest. He's been fully acquited of all charges and can now return home to Ireland to be with his family. Do you have some kind of problem with this (other than that he's a Muslim ?).

Well, how are these countries ever going to change if people don't protest and make a stand though?

Is "protesting" the only method?

He is lucky that Ireland gave him a safe home and would do well to stay there.

I am not baiting anyone I am saying that in your own country the people did not see protesting as the best method of political change. You may think its boring but its relevant to what you are saying.

So they should all just stay home and do what they're told? Lucky the suffergettes never thought that way or I'd have no vote still

He's lucky to be going home hale and hearty. Far luckier than the American boy who went home from North Korea in a coma. The question of what he was doing there, involved in political demonstration as an Irish citizen does loom a bit. Seems incredibly foolish to choose Egypt to exercise an urge to protest.

With regard the suffragettes they were fighting for freedoms within their own country. As an Irishman wasn't this guy meddling in the politics of another country? That is courting danger.
