Egypt: Italian Student Found Dead with Signs of Torture

HeadlineFeb 05, 2016

In Egypt, an Italian Ph.D. student has been found dead, his body half-naked and covered with apparent signs of torture. Giulio Regeni went missing on January 25, the fifth anniversary of the revolution that ousted Hosni Mubarak. He had reportedly written about Egyptian labor unions for an Italian newspaper, using a pseudonym over safety concerns. His body showed signs of cigarette burns and head injuries associated with abuses by Egyptian security forces.
