According to 28/12/2015 the information received, on 22 January 2015, Mr. Hassan Mahmoud Ragab el Kabany was arrested by members of Homeland Security and the General Investigations Department and detained at the Security Forces Camp in Sheikh Zayed. He was reportedly tortured for two consecutive days and forced to confess crimes in retaliation for his work as a journalist. Mr. El Kabany was not authorised to see a doctor. On 24 January 2015, he was charged and detained at Tora high security prison (al Aqrab prison). In February 2015, Mr. El Kabany went on a hunger strike in protest of his conditions of detention – he was not allowed to exercise or see his family regularly – as well as the absence of investigation into the alleged torture subsequent to his arrest.
