More than 71 MEPs have signed an open letter in support of an Irish man facing trial in Greece today.

27-year-old Seán Binder from Co Kerry's facing charges of people smuggling, membership of a criminal organisation and espionage - he's one of 24 on trial.

Sean travelled to the Greek Island of Lesbos to do humanitarian work in 2017 but was arrested the following year.

He denies the charges, and his mother Fanny says he's feeling determined.

"At this stage everything is open, nobody knows how this will end today or in the future.

"But he's very focussed, he's running this campaign with the whole team, and they have been very successful about it.

"He's being very proactive about it which helps."
