Description
After Egyptian authorities refused to release dissident Alaa Abdel Fattah -- despite serving his five-year sentence -- his mother Laila Soueif has gone on hunger strike, now reaching over 50 days. She urges the government of Britain, where Abdel Fattah holds citizenship, to ensure his release. She will meet UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy next week. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
