Egyptian prisons face ongoing detainee deaths
Egyptian prisons continue to violate human rights against detainees, with ongoing medical neglect and torture that have resulted in the death of 12 people and 36 other deaths in detention centers during the first half of this year. Human rights organizations' documentation reveals instances of torture and deliberate medical neglect, particularly towards individuals with special needs, some of whom died due to neglect and the failure to provide appropriate treatment, despite reports emphasizing the necessity of transferring them to hospitals outside the prisons. These violations are considered legal infractions and violations of international charters. This comes amid increasing calls for investigation and accountability, as the humanitarian situation in Egyptian prisons worsens and authorities refuse to provide the necessary healthcare for detainees.
