A Dublin family is pleading with the Tanaiste to ask Egyption authorities to release Ibrahim Halawa from prison.
The 18 year old has been locked up for nine months, since taking part in a protest in Cairo.
One of his sister's Somaia says the family's terrified he may be executed:
"My mum visits him every week, sometimes twice a week and she sees that he's dropping, he's going down every day. Especially as he's hearing about all these death sentence."
