Alleged arbitrary arrest and detention, as well as torture and other cruel, inhuman or
degrading treatment or punishment of 50 juveniles and of two 18 year-olds by prison
guards, police and military officers, as well as refusal by the Public Prosecutor and the
Court of Misdemeanours of Alexandria to open investigations into these allegations.
According to the information received, between 20 September 2013 and 30 May
2014, 52 males between the ages of 15 and 18 were arrested without warrants by
police and military officers during peaceful demonstrations against the regime. They
are currently detained in the Koum el Dekka prison, Montaza District, Alexandria, and
charged with “demonstrating without authorization”, “assaults on police officers” and
“affiliation to a prohibited party”. On numerous occasions, these types of charges
have been brought against political opponents in Egypt, particularly against supporters
of the Muslim Brotherhood.
