Tora Prison
On June 23, 2020, the Amnesty International reported that Egyptian security forces kidnapped the human rights defender Sanaa Seif from outside the Public Prosecutor’s office, New Cairo. The rights organization stated that she paid visit to the office to file a complaint against a violent assault, which she and her family suffered outside Tora Prison, a day earlier. The report stated that Sanaa was taken to the office of the Supreme State Security Prosecution in Cairo, where the prosecutors questioned her over the charges of “disseminating false news”, “inciting terrorist crimes” and “misuse of social media”.
