Ibrahim halawa has now spent 4 years in an egyptian jail

The family of Ibrahim Halawa say he's given his body and spirit to stay alive in jail in Egypt.

It's exactly four years since the Dublin man was arrested as a teenager there during a pro-democracy rally. But he's still awaiting the outcome of a mass trial involving hundreds of defendants. The Irish Government has been criticised for not intervening in his case but Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney says we could see progress soon.
