For the @washingtonpost, I wrote about Laila Soueif—not only the grieving mother starving for her son’s release, but the towering icon of dissent with a legacy all her own. No matter how this ends, Laila lives. @FreedomForAlaa.

Laila Soueif’s blood sugar plummeted to 0.9 mmol/L in St Thomas’ Hospital last night. Keir Starmer and David Lammy, please, we are out of time. We need you to live up to the promises you made in opposition, and to the commitments you've made to free Alaa in government.
