Security Source Denies Protests or Strikes at Egypt’s Correctional Centres

A security source has denied reports of protests or strikes inside Egypt’s correctional and rehabilitation centres, according to a statement from the Interior Ministry.

The ministry said the denial came in response to claims circulating on several internet pages about conditions inside the facilities.

It attributed those reports to allegations published by pages linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, which Egyptian authorities designate as a terrorist organisation.

The brief statement provided no further details about the allegations or the facilities concerned. The source’s denial could not be independently verified from the information provided.
