The Egyptian authorities are using "collective punishment" against prisoners in Cairo's notorious Scorpion Prison,
Anadolu has reported. The allegation was made by Human Rights Watch yesterday.
A report from the rights watchdog said that the Egyptian security services have introduced changes to Scorpion Prison since mid-November which almost completely deprive the inmates of ventilation, electricity and hot water. This is in addition to earlier measures banning family visits since March 2018, and the denial of physical exercise since last year.
