Abdel Rahman Mohamed-Cairo
Lawyer and human rights lawyer Mohamed Abu Huraira, detained in an Egyptian prison, pleaded for his wife Aisha Khairat al-Shater before a court in the last hearing to renew their detention.
The spokesperson of the Egyptian Coordination for Rights and Freedoms and his wife, among others, were arrested on November 1, 2018, and charged by the Supreme State Security Prosecution on charges of participating in a terrorist group to achieve its objectives, receiving funding for a terrorist purpose, and participating in a criminal agreement intended to commit a terrorist crime.
According to human rights sources, Abu Huraira denounced his wife's abuse and psychological and moral torture, which he sees as no reason, but she is the daughter of Khairat al-Shater, deputy leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, stressing that his wife is being held in conditions of detention contrary to the constitution and the prison law.
The sources quoted Abu Huraira as saying during the pleading, "I shy to talk about my suffering and my plight under the plight and suffering of my wife, even if I have a thousand souls came out one by one to make her a sacrifice for my wife and a price for her freedom."
He confirmed that his wife appeared in poor health and her weight dropped to half, and her left hand with severe bruises, as she is treated in a humiliating manner inside her cemetery-like trap, as he described.
According to the Egyptian Coordination for Rights and Freedoms, Aisha began an open-ended hunger strike two days ago in order to reject the violations against her in al-Qanater prison and not to observe the most basic human rights with her.
"My wife is locked in a disciplinary cell," Abu Huraira said in his plea, which was attended by lawyers who attended the hearing. "One meter in eighty meters, it does not have a bathroom. It is deprived of exercise, of visiting and seeing of its young." So she is killed slowly?
He denounced: Why do prosecutors keep silent on these violations that exceeded all borders?
