The family of the imprisoned Egyptian dissident Alaa Abd El-Fattah says they no longer know if he is still alive or if he is being force-fed, more than 50 hours after he stopped drinking water in an intensification of a six-month hunger strike. We feature an address by Alaa's sister Sanaa Seif at the U.N. climate summit in Sharm el-Sheikh. The symbolic battle has been won by your show of support," says Seif. I just hope his body and he is not sacrificed for it."
