US teen begs Trump to help free mother from Egyptian jail - CNNPolitics
What a heartbreaking story. Poor kid is separated from his mother, and his uncle is arrested for trying to visit her. It's no wonder she left that shit country.
Thirteen-year-old Moustafa Hamed said he and his mother, Reem Mohamed Desouky, were looking forward to their trip to Egypt.
"We were excited to come to Egypt so we could spend time with our family during summer break," the Pennsylvania teenager said in a video obtained by CNN.
That excitement quickly vanished on their arrival in the country last month. Desouky, a dual US-Egyptian national, was jailed after she and Moustafa were detained and interrogated at the airport.
Moustafa is now pleading for anyone, including US President Donald Trump, to help secure his mother's release.
"Please, President Trump, please help. America, please, I just need my mother," he said in another video. "We're not supposed to be in this problem right now."
