Abuse of Muslim Brothers prisoners

Egyptian activists are raising concern about the inhumane treatment of the jailed Muslim Brothers members. Since they were rounded up by State Security Investigators (SSI) during the last election, those prisoners have not been charged with any crimes, have no right to attorney and are deprived of their basic human needs, according to Egyptian NGOs.

Mr. Ahmed Abdelhafaz, the jailed Muslim Brotherhood Spokesperson in Alexandria began a hunger strike in protest of the inhumane treatment and the constant physical and psychological abuse him and other Brotherhood prisoners are suffering on the hands of the prison administration at Borg Al Arab prison in the suburbs of Alexandria.

Some of them do not even have their proper IDs because they were not given time to gather their personal belongings when they were arrested. Prisoners as many as 25 were placed in 14x19 feet filthy cells.

In addition, the government is withholding medical treatment from some of the chronically ill prisoners and subsequently, their condition is gradually deteriorating.

Here is the partial list of some of those gravely ill prisoners Units # 25 at Borg Al Arab Prison
