He said: "I am not comforted at all and believe he's still at massive risk. The Egyptian authorities are totally opaque, cruel, incompetent, corrupt and so paralysed by fear that information doesn't travel along chains of command properly - so anything could happen. "After being on hunger strike for seven months Alaa's body is in an incredibly precarious state and the wrong intervention could have terrible consequences. "This is against his will, illegal and cruel. We don't even know if he's in a hospital or still inside the prison. The cruelty is unfathomable."
