Alaa Abdel\u002DFattah, a symbol of Egypt’s 2011 revolt, has been imprisoned for his part in an unauthorized protest.
His new prison, Wadi El-Natrun, is located in a desert valley 150 kilometers north of Cairo. The 40-year-old former computer programmer arrived on Wednesday morning and was allowed a visit from family members the following day.
Prior to his transfer, Abdel-Fattah had been on a hunger strike for almost 48 days in protest of his treatment in prison. His family said that he was denied exercise time, visitation privileges, medical care and even books.Numerous complaints were filed regarding his mistreatment which, according to Abdel-Fattah and his family, included being beaten and humiliated by guards. Officials denied any wrongdoings or of witnessing his hunger strike.
Although Abdel-Fattah has since been moved, his sister said on Facebook that they don’t know if this will be an improvement.
