is to risk imprisonment, torture and worse. of political prisoners have? it is a pressing question for my guests today. alaa abdel fattah, a dual egyptian british citizen, and alaa's sister sa naa. in a desperate bid to win her son's freedom.

of you, to hardtalk. thank you for having us. oh, it is a pleasure to have you. laila, i am going to start with you. you are in the fifth month of a hunger strike, a hunger strike that is aimed to put pressure, to win the release of your son currently imprisoned in egypt. my first question has to be, how are you? but i'm very, very weak.

you have a glass of water in front of you. i know you're taking water. some sort of rehydration drink. i mean, how long can this continue before your and the doctors i've spoken to say that we're in unchartered waters now. we can't even guess.

but before we get any further, what's it like for you having it's really tough and... itry, like... she did tell me that she was thinking about this prior to starting it. bit more than a month. because i also feel for her that i agree with her, is a crisis. scared and i'm like, "no, let's go back." you're a deeply,

profoundly activist family. against the government in your country. but i just wonder whether there's a limit that crossed before. yes, there is, because this government has crossed so many limits that were never crossed before. and the ultimate limit, of course, in a hunger strike

this hunger strike. imprisoned for five years. but at that time, we knew that five years meant five years. he came out of prison. but it's not possible if you're in prison indefinitely. not just to alaa. i've mentioned this before. professor essam hashish. he's been found innocent by all the courts since 2018. he is still in prison. i can't allow this to happen to my own son.

already spent two years pre—trial in prison. ta ke take you ta ke you to take you to donald let's take you straight to donald trump, he's expected to any moment. here he at wfiépuhlfinéht’. he}. he at the republican governors happening in... he was introduced by the georgian intreduced by the geergian ~ , ~ ~ ~ .,, kemp, to governor, brian kemp, to the governors.
