Cairo University's engineering professor Essam Hashish has asked the Scorpion Prison Department, currently detained, to allow him to buy a shroud at his own expense "in preparation for meeting his Lord," human rights sources said.
Hashish, a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, said the claim was justified by the "deterioration of his health" and that the Scorpion Prison Administration deliberately neglected his health and sought to kill him slowly.
Some questioned: Is it acceptable to tolerate such abuses, waiting for the death of detainees one after another? Many students of Hashish evoke stories of his genius and his academic ability and scientific prominence in his field.
Isam Hashish is a communications professor at the Faculty of Engineering at Cairo University. He was born in 1955 in Gharbia Governorate (North Cairo). He was awarded the University Encouragement Award in 2004. He was chosen as the ideal professor at Cairo University in 2005. He carried out pioneering engineering projects. And supervised about fifty scientific theses at home and abroad.
Hashish was arrested in 1981 and 1995, then arrested in connection with the events of Al-Azhar University on charges of money laundering, and sentenced to three years.
Following the military coup on July 3, 2013, Issam Hashish was arrested from 6th of October City in Giza Governorate.

Lack of hope
The director of the Shehab Center for Human Rights, Khalaf Bayoumi, considered Hashish's request as evidence of the extent of the abuses suffered by detainees in Egypt and revealed the extent of the suffering they complain of.
He also said in an interview with Al-Jazeera Net that this demand reveals the lack of detainees any glimmer of hope in the improvement of prison conditions or change, and that evidence added to hundreds of previous evidence condemning the Egyptian regime and its security institutions.
Since the beginning of this year, about 18 detainees have died in prisons, according to human rights sources, the latest of which was Musharraf, who died last Thursday, inside his prison in Borg al-Arab prison, due to medical negligence, bringing the number of detainees who died for the same reason since the military coup 693 detainees .
Previously, a number of Brotherhood leaders and members died inside the prison due to medical negligence; most notably former President Mohamed Morsi, former General Guide Mohamed Mahdi Akef, Abdel Azim Sharkawi, Farid Ismail, Mohamed Al Falahji and Tarek El Ghandour.
