The government's persecution of whistleblowers Richard Boyle and David McBride is unjust, and the public doesn't support it. It's time for much-needed reform.

The extraordinary courage of a remarkable woman for her incredible son. This is a mother using the only tool she has to fight a terrible injustice. #FreeAlaa #SaveLaila.
The brutality of these awful regimes @AlsisiOfficial.@Keir_Starmer. We are forced to share live documentation of our mother's slow death in one final attempt to get them to recognise the urgency of our situation, reach a resolution, and save her before it is too late!.#FreeAlaa

Hours — not weeks or even days — to save Laila Soueif, the extraordinary heroic mother who is over 240 days into her hunger strike to free her son, and my friend, Alaa Abd el-Fattah. Look at the image. Understand what is at stake. #FreeAlaa

Hours. Not days or weeks to save Laila Soueif. #FreeAlaa #SaveLaila.
People understand this is a matter of hours. Governments, callous and desensitised as they always are, think if they act 245 days too late it can be somehow justified!!! . #SaveLaila #FreeAlaa.

This is one reason why Alaa is such an important figure. He articulates philosophical and political ideas with power and resonance. That frightens Egypt, but it should inspire us all. #freeAlaa.
Dr Laila had a special visitor at Downing Street today. Francesca Nadin has just spent 9 months in a British prison cell for her pro-Palestine activism. She spoke about the effect that Alaa’s work had on her while inside. “I read Alaa’s book in prison and it changed everything

The extraordinary, brave, determined Laila Soueif is resuming her full hunger strike to #FreeAlaa — her son and my friend — still in prison in Egypt. @Keir_Starmer, you have the capacity to bring him home. Laila is frail and close to dying.

This is an important note about a serious breech of media freedom, due process and human rights. #FreeJimmyLai.
@FreeNazanin @Keir_Starmer The list of signatories to the @Keir_Starmer letter is remarkable - people who have returned home from prisons in China, Iran, Russia, the Soviet Union, Iraq, UAE, Egypt, Rwanda, Venezuela, Nicaragua. Now it’s time to bring Jimmy Lai home to London.
