Today marks four years to the day since Dublin man Ibrahim Halawa was arrested in Egypt.

He was just 17 when he was taken into custody during a protest in Cairo – he’s still awaiting the outcome of his mass trial.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney says he’s determined Ibrahim is released from prison and returned to his family.
