An Irish student who's spent exactly one year in a Cairo jail, has gone on hunger strike.
18 year old Ibrahim Halawa began his protest after a mass trial involving over 400 defendants was abandoned.
Mr Halawa, from Firhouse in Dublin, was arrested last year alongside his three older sisters, following a day of protests against the ousting of President Mohamed Morsi.
His family are pleading with the Irish Govenment to intervene and have Ibrahim released as soon as possible.
Ibrahim's sister, Somaia says her brother was brutally beaten by police officers before Tuesday's trial hearing.
