Report Reveals Systematic Targeted Killing of Egyptian Prisoners

HeadlineAug 25, 2011

A new report alleges that previous estimates of the amount of Egyptian prisoners killed in the nation’s popular uprising failed to account for the total number of prisons where violence is believed to have occurred. According to a report issued today by the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, the systematic killing of Egyptian prisoners is likely to have occurred at at least nine prisons around the country, rather than five as previously believed. At least 189 prisoners were killed after the January 25 uprising, but the new findings suggest that number may be higher.
