Time ‘running out’ for detained Ibrahim Halawa

They have been advised that a presidential decree is Ibrahim’s best chance of being freed, but a decree request must be made by Taoiseach Enda Kenny before the Egyptian courts have a chance to convict him.
MEP Lynn Boylan, who gathered legal experts in Brussels for a briefing session, said it is vital Mr Kenny makes the formal request before the scheduled trial date on December 15.
