Amnesty International Petition-Free Ibrahim Halawa

This young man, an Irish citizen, arrested in 2013 at age 17, has just been transferred to a death penalty cell. His "trial" starts tomorrow. He is the brother of my daughter's dear friend.

The "trial", which was to have started yesterday, has been postponed for the 5th time.
It is now scheduled for April 26.
Ibrahim will continue to be held in the death penalty cell until then.

Please consider signing the Amnesty International petition at
