In Egypt, human rights activists say hundreds of people have been subjected to “enforced disappearances,” as president and former military general Abdel Fattah el-Sisi widens his crackdown. Hundreds of people have been reportedly held for months without charges or access to a lawyer in secret prisons run by Sisi’s security forces. Many say they have been tortured. Some have died in the secret prisons and their bodies later surfaced in morgues. National Council on Human Rights lawyer Nasser Amin said, “This is an unprecedented catastrophe for human rights and freedoms in Egypt.”
