(ANSA) - BOLOGNA, JUNE 2 - "Despite official denials, Egyptian human rights groups denounce the spread of Covid-19 in the Tora prison", where PatrickGeorge Zaky, Egyptian student of the University of Bologna, is imprisoned. Riccardo Noury, a spokesman for AmnestyInternational Italia, writes on Twitter. "Meanwhile - he adds - 3000 prisoners were detained for Eid including thieves and at least one assassin manon Patrick Zaky and the others".
"Rumors multiply that in at least two sections of Tora prison there have been cases of contagion from Covid-19," Noury tells ANSA. "This does nothing but support the immediate request for the activation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the Italian ambassador in Cairo for a very rapid release for humanitarian reasons by Patrick Zakyche, as is known, is particularly subject to risk" because it is hematic. "If it is true that Covid is inside Tora, he must not spend a moment longer and must be released immediately," he concludes.
