The family of Abdel-Fattah, who was arrested amid the recent clampdown that followed anti-government protests, says he was beaten, threatened and stripped to his underwear while in custody. Seif, a prominent human rights activist tweeted on Thursday, Oct. 10, 2019, that her brother also told his lawyers that he was blindfolded and threatened that he would never set foot outside one of Cairo’s most notorious prisons.
