Jailed British-Egyptian activist Alaa Abdel Fattah has ended a seven-month-long hunger strike, he wrote in a letter given to his family on Tuesday.
"I have ended the strike," the activist wrote, his sister Mona Seif announced.
Abdel Fattah, who consumed "only 100 calories a day" for seven months, escalated his strike — first refusing all food, then water — as the COP27 climate summit opened on Nov. 6 in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh.
