Verdict day for ibrahim halawa in egypt today

Ibrahim Halawa is expected to discover his fate today after being imprisoned in Egypt for the past four years.

The 21 year old Dubliner was arrested during a political protest in 2013 and has been one of nearly 500 defendants in a prolonged mass trial. Regardless of the outcome, Ibrahim could return home under a Presidential pardon or deportation if the Egyptian leader honours his commitment. Colm O'Gorman from Amnesty International Ireland says there's a chance the judge could rule in Ibrahim's favour.
