Sabei’s Detention Assault
The Arab Observatory for Freedom of the Media reported that detained Egyptian journalist Ahmed Sabei was assaulted inside Badr 3 Prison. He was taken from his cell wearing only his underwear, dragged down the stairs from the fourth floor to the ground floor, and then placed in a disciplinary cell, as part of punitive measures against detainees who had joined a protest strike. The Observatory said his cell was flooded with water and that he was initially denied his clothes and medication. Treatment was delivered only after fellow detainees protested. Organizations also reported assaults and ill-treatment of other detainees. Human rights groups called for an independent investigation, accountability for those responsible, and guarantees of detainees’ safety and access to medical care, amid criticism of the Egyptian Journalists’ Syndicate for not taking a public position.
