Bakr Atef, a university student, says his father and his brother were arrested in July, 2015. Both are still in jail on charges of a crime that took place in August of 2015, a month after the men were already in custody. Both father and son had, however, participated in anti-government protests the previous year. Atef says: “More than a hundred special soldiers, heavily armed, masked and dressed in camouflage uniforms, stormed our house. They took about 280,000 Egyptian pounds from the house and brought me, my father and six of my brothers downstairs and covered our eyes and tied our hands behind our backs. They pointed a gun at each of us and asked who among us was the most religious. My brother Yahia said he prayed at the mosque and they arrested him. I yelled, ‘You can’t arrest him. We have cameras and recording devices!’ They confiscated the equipment before they took my brother away.” Aug. 29, 2017. (Photo/Hamada Elrasam)
