I’m waiting for my turn on the death rope says Irish teen Ibrahim Halawa in letter to public

“I write with a ticking clock closer to my death. For the past two years and three months, I have been imprisoned unjustly. I’m waiting in a queue for my turn on the death rope. My only crime is being innocent.”

These are the words of Ibrahim Halawa, an Irish teenager who has been imprisoned in Egypt for the last 27 months.

In a handwritten letter to the public, seen by the Irish Examiner, the 19-year-old Dubliner reveals that he has embarked on another hunger strike and tells of the horrific living conditions within the prison.
