Stephen Sackur speaks to Laila Soueif, mother of Alaa Abdel
Fattah, a political prisoner in Egypt and Alaa’s sister Sanaa
Seif. Laila is into the fifth month of a hunger strike in a
desperate bid to win her son’s freedom. Alaa is a dual
British-Egyptian citizen – should the UK be doing more to help?
