The family of a Dublin teen imprisoned in Egypt say they feel "neglected" by the Irish government.

Ibrahim (19) Halawa has been in jail since August 2013, after being arrested during political unrest in Cairo.

He is due to stand mass trail on Sunday, having had several previous dates repeatedly postponed.

Amnesty International has previously described the trial of Mr Halawa as a 'sham'. The date for his trial has been pushed back four times.

The Dubliner was arrested at a protest at the Al-Fath mosque, following protests against the ousting of former Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi.

He was charged - along with hundreds of others - with charges of murder, attempted murder and participating in an illegal protest.

Amnesty International has hit out at his treatment and named him a Prisoner of Conscience. The European Parliament has also been asked to ensure Mr Halawa gets a fair trial.

Ibrahim's sister, Fatima, says her family believes the Irish government could be doing more to secure his release.
