Police in Egypt investigate using Torture
The detainees were beaten and assaulted for possessing video tapes which recorded the security raids carried out by the head of state security on the house of Ahmed el-Khadl during his absence. The video recorded forces ransacking the house and confiscating personal belongings from it. Forces searched the nearby houses in search of el-Khadl and this was also recorded
Al-Shehab Centre for Human Rights and El-Helali Foundation for Freedoms stressed that the disappearance of MB members Ahmed el-Khadl and Moaz Abbas who was present at el-Khadl’s house is a blatant violation of the judicial rulings and violation of all human rights and forced disappearance laws. Both have been missing since April 1st.
A report confirmed that the accurate whereabouts of detainees remain unknown to their lawyers and families. The Defence team submitted a complaint in Rashid’s Prosecution accusing the SSI of their abduction and detention in an unknown destination.
