Episode (22/22/2020) from the program "For the Story of the Rest" discussed the pretrial prison in Egypt, which violates all the established laws, since pretrial detention does not require a ruling from the prosecution, but rather a police officer who charges any person.

Jurists believe that the aim behind the age of pre-trial detention is to abuse the Egyptian opposition, and the beginning was after the coup against the late Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, considering that the use of the law in this way is contrary to the rules of legislation based on respecting the legal rules.

And remand detention is considered a precautionary measure taken by the investigation authority or the competent court in many countries of the world, to ensure the reservation of the accused and not to tamper with the evidence of the case, or to influence witnesses of the incident until the conclusion of the case, but the Egyptian state recently converted remand from a precautionary measure to a political penalty .

The Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights says that the Egyptian Public Prosecution and the judiciary have expanded their reliance on pretrial detention without being bound by its conditions, which has placed thousands of Egyptians in the cycle of this detention, without the existence of mechanisms to challenge the decisions of their imprisonment.

Article 150 of the Code of Criminal Procedure sets a maximum limit for pretrial detention, which ranges between 18 months and two years in felonies, but in 2013, interim President Adly Mansour amended the last paragraph of the Criminal Code to abolish the maximum for charges in which the sentence amounts to life imprisonment or death.

According to the law, the person who is subject to pretrial detention has the right to remain in places isolated from the rest of the prisoners. He also has the right to wear his own clothes, and he has the right to visit, and his private space to exercise.

The Egyptian journalist, previously held in reserve, Musaad Al-Barbari, talks about the prisoner's stand-up as no different from the prisoner against whom a ruling was issued, stressing that the cell he was staying in was small and no more than 24 square meters in size, and it contained about 29 people.

It is noteworthy that the National Council for Human Rights in Egypt said in its report in 2015 that the accumulation in detention rooms in police stations amounts to 300%, which are the main headquarters for pretrial detention, while the rate of overcrowding in public prisons reaches 160%, and the report also spoke about the denial of hygiene materials for prisoners Personality, inhuman conditions in prisons, and the constant stripping of detainees of their personal belongings.

Also, 2012 Member of Parliament Moamen Zaarour - who was previously held in pretrial detention - also talked about his suffering by imprisonment for 3 years, as during these years he was unable to sleep on his back, but was forced to sleep on one side without moving due to severe overcrowding.

A former reserve prisoner - who "reserved for the rest of the story" on the authority of revealing his identity - said that the food provided to them in prison was not fit for human use, and he also talked about being beaten despite his disability, in addition to stripping him of his clothes and tying his arms and eyes. Only, "and the case came from the severity of the torture to the acceptance of signing any paper and any accusation to get rid of torture.

He added that the charge he had arrested was that he was resisting the authorities, but the reality was that his disability did not allow him to do such an act.

He pointed out that his 72-year-old mother had been assaulted, and they dragged her in front of him, and they were constantly pressuring him through his mother.

During the era of Egyptian President Mohamed Hosni Mubarak, the law permitted the Minister of Interior to issue arrest warrants without adhering to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, at which point human rights reports spoke of violations suffered by politicians, but their detention periods were short and did not exceed a few months.
