Three Irish sisters are due to be released from prison in Egypt today.
A judge has ordered the release of Omaima (20), Fatima (22) and Soumaia Halawa (27) who are being held in Cairo since they were arrested during a protest there in August.
Their brother, Ibrahim (17), remains in custody and will appear in court in Cairo tomorrow.

They were among hundreds of people cleared out of the al-Fath mosque when security forces stormed the building.
The four siblings are from Firhouse in Dublin and their father is the Imam of the Islamic Cultural Centre in Clonskeagh.
Groups of people from both Ireland and Egypt have held protests outside the Egyptian embassy in Dublin calling for their release.
