Tora Prison
The detention of Patrick Zaki, the Egyptian student who is enrolled on an Erasmus Mundus Master's degree at the University of Bologna, has further strained diplomatic relations. He was detained on 7 February 2020 when returning to Cairo to visit family. He has since been detained in Tora Prison despite international calls for his release from organizations such as Amnesty International and Scholars at Risk, as well as the appeals of Italian Members of European Parliament. Several Italian cities, including Bologna, Milan and Naples have made Zaki an honorary citizen as part of the campaign "100 Città per Patrick" (100 cities for Patrick)
