Released Ibrahim hungers for home

Ibrahim Halawa had four years to dream up his post-release wishlist but he had just two simple requests for his family after he was finally freed from prison.

“The first things he asked us for was his bedroom and the fridge,” said his sister Somaia. “He told us: ‘Have my room ready and the fridge full when I get home.’

“His bedroom is here ready for him so we can do that. And we’ll fill the fridge — we’ll give him the bill later. He can pay us in the chores we saved up for him.”
