Today marks two years since Ibrahim Halawa, an Irish teenager, was jailed in Egypt after he was caught up in a political protest. For two years, he has been due to stand trial for his alleged role in the violence that erupted during the protest. If convicted, he could face the death penalty. The details of Ibrahim’s detention and alleged torture are harrowing but, if he is indeed innocent, it wouldn’t be the first time someone has fallen foul of a justice system, writes Kelly O’Brien.

The Irish Innocence Project have expressed concern at further delays in the appeal court hearing of a man sentenced to 18 years in prison in Greece for robberies he could not have committed because he was in Ireland at the time.

The Irish wife of a man jailed in Greece for crimes independent evidence shows he could not have committed is making last-minute preparations today for the long-awaited appeal hearing she hopes will free him.
