SOS from inside Tora prison

My name is Hassan Ali Ahmed, 29 years, diploma of commerce. I was transferred from
Basateen police station to Tora investigation prison on the 12th of October 2012. Head of
intelligence officer in Basateen police station Khaled Abdelmoneim El Demerdash, and the
head of intelligence officer in Tora prison Ahmed Ismail and his assistant Ashraf Khafaga
gave orders to the informers in prison to torture me. They beat me, broke my left arm and
sexually assaulted me causing me an anal fissure.

I am held in high security ward (1). An informer by the name of Sabry tortured me more
than one and when I asked him why are you doing this he said because you are a criminal.
I told him I have not been found guilty. He said I dont care. I have orders to torture you. I
told him I am dying and my arm is broken. He told me if you want to stop the beating you
have to pay me 500 pounds every visit you receive. I had no other way out. But now my
father is dead and I have no one to get the money from so they are torturing me again,
assaulting me again. They make me drink this mixture of water, oil, salt, washing powder,
milk and tobacco. It makes us vomit a lot. Sometimes for two days. Several inmates have
died because of drinking this mixture, such as Hassan Orabi (26 years, cell 11A) in March
2013 and Ahmed Gamal (27 years, cell 8b) in May 2013 and Ahmed Koshari (30 years) in
November 2014. All of them were held in high security ward (1).
Of course nobody hears about those people, and who dares to talk dies like they did, and at
the end they write circulatory failure. Many people died but those are the names I
remember. This induced vomiting is one of many ways. There is something called the
Manwar. It is a place where they sexually assault us in ward (1). They strip our clothes
and they carry pipes or hoses and they assault us with them. To escape this you have to
pay money. For visits I have to pay money to the informers, and if I dont have any I dont
receive a visit and the food is thrown away in front of my eyes. All this happens to non
political inmates and the prison administration and the intelligence officers know it. I have
been here for 4 years and I have not met any of those human rights people they talk about,
nor any official. And when I hear they are visiting the prison I do not see them. And when I
ask I learn that they are sitting in the offices of the officers. And when they inspect the
administration brings its own inmates to show the officials.
There is also something called Eldawie. It consists of 2 cells (5b and 6b) in ward (1) where
they torture us. We would be about 25 to 35 criminal inmates, and the informers come in
and throw cold water on us in the middle of winter, they beat us with electric wires and they
use the falaka on us, they suspend us from our shoulders naked and keep laughing and
mocking us. Informer Sabri also uses the mosque of the ward to torture us. When the
inspection of the prison management comes they get us out of Eldawaie and then return us
again after they leave. What I want to say is that I wish some official would come to the
ward and see with his own eyes what is happening. I dont want to die of torture. I want to
be treated justly, with dignity. If I made a mistake I should be accountable to the law.

Letter from an Irish teenager detained in Egypt

Article by Bel True: An Irish teenager has been detained in Egypt since 540 days and faces
the death penalty. Irish teenager Ibrahim Halawa, 18 years, was sharing the same cell with
Australian journalist Peter Greste. He was spending his holidays in Egypt in August 2013
when he happened to walk in the vicinity of a demonstration in support of ousted president
Morsi. Hundreds were arrested, among them Halawa. He will stand trial together with 493
defendants accused of murder, demonstration, insulting the police and burning of
government buildings. If found guilty he might receive the death sentence. In an interview
with his sister, she said that he suffers depression and does not talk with anybody. The
family submitted a request for his deportation three months ago, for which they did not
receive a reply until now. Halawa is held in a cell with 60 adult inmates; the cell is full of
insects and the food is inedible. He wrote to this family about the maltreatment in prison
especially their search while naked and that guards drag inmates away, sexually assault
them and walk on their backs as well as club them.

HRW: Investigate Professors Allegations of Torture
Egyptian judicial authorities should investigate allegations that police tortured an economics
professor and his brother. Abdallah Shehata, a former Finance Ministry advisor, and his
brother Asad have been held since they were detained on November 28, 2014.
A lawyer told Human Rights Watch in December that interrogators subjected Shehata, and
his brother to electrocution and other mistreatment to force Shehata to confess to weapons
possession and other charges related to violence. Attempts by the lawyer to file a complaint
for torture were reportedly dismissed by the prosecutor.
"They wanted to videotape [Shehata] saying dictated confessions...every time he refused,
they electrocuted him again," Ghoniem said. They also tortured his brother As'ad in front of
him to abuse him psychologically."
Ghoniem said he saw apparent torture wounds on Shehata's body when they met in the
prosecutors office and Shehata told him what had happened. They asked the prosecutor to
file a complaint against the officers who tortured him and order a forensic examination to
prove the torture. The prosecutor responded that he knew "everything" that had happened
to Shehata since he had been arrested, Ghoniem said, and refused to take any action.
They destroyed everything in the house, took Abdallah, his wife, and his 17-year-old
mentally-disabled kid, but then dumped the wife and the kid on the way to the detention
center, saying they didn't need them anymore," Shehatas lawyer told Human Rights
Watch. Full release at http://www.hrw.org/news/2015/02/03/egypt-investigate-professor-sallegations-torture

Testimony from Madinet Nasr I police station (2)

Alazhar female student: I was arrested from university. They took me to Madinet Nasr I
police station for 7 hours. Every two students were held in a cell, 6 tiles long times 4 tiles
wide. We requested to go to the toilet but the officer refused. They took us out of the cell
and a TV channel (7th day) camera came to film us. They took us to a wider place like a
ward, that had more than one cell. We remained standing until 1 am in this place. They
verbally abused us all the time. A bald officer by the name of Ibrahim would smoke and
blow the smoke in our faces.

Finally they agreed to allow my father in for a visit. He brought food. We met for exactly 4
minutes. He gave me food and a blanket because we had not eaten since the morning. We
gave some of it to the soldiers so that they allow us to sit. We were seven girls all
handcuffed to each other. We sat for a while and then an officer came in and insulted the
soldiers for allowing us to sit.
They took us to the womens cell at 3 am. Criminal inmates all of them, murder, kidnap,
drugs, prostitution, theft. They were 10 women. Their leader was called Fatma. They called
her Batta. She searched us in a most indecent manner. They terrorized us saying the most
horrible things will happen to us. We decided that we shall not sleep, but we were very tired
so we agreed on shifts. By the end of the next day we were 45 women in that cell. There
was a cell the size of a toilet, a dirty toilet, with a broken door. They let women come in to
scare us. One of them said she was possessed and she would scream and beat anybody,
but never the criminal inmates. Only us. One day she held an electric wire and said she
would electrify the water so that we die. One night I woke up to find her sleeping on top of
me and trying to bite me. Several times during some nights they would open the door
violently to search the cell looking for mobile phones. They would mess up the cell and then
order us to clean it. One night they broke into the cell and said we must spend the night
standing facing the wall. http://www.rassd.com/7-129639.htm

Testimony from Madinet Nasr I police station (3)

At the time of the visit them got us all out and took us in a police van. Suddenly we found
ourselves in front of a hospital where they wanted to test us fro pregnancy. This was
accompanied by the most obscene language and abuse thrown at us. I fainted. There was
this bald officer. His name was Ibrahim. He would always threaten us that he would come at
9 pm and take a girl with him. He did come but he took a girl who was there for criminal
charges. They always abused them and ordered them to harass us.
