Families of a number of Islamist detainees, currently held in Tora, have filed a lawsuit against police officer Wael Nour, of the Religious Activities Monitoring Unit at Giza’s State Security bureau.
The families accused the officer of torturing their detained relatives before they were transferred to Tora Prison, which resulted in severe physical injuries to several of them, including detainee El-Sayyed Mahmoud Salah, 49, who lost his hearing senses and is suffering from spinal damage, due to torture.
Wael Nour, according to the lawsuit filed under number 14366 at the Public Prosecutor’s office, threatened the detainees with extrajudicial execution if they did not “cooperate.”
