Although many of the detainees have been in the custody of state security for several months, the order for a detainment extension came from Prosecutor General Abdel-Meguid Mahmoud Thursday as he prepares to bring charges against them. Lawyer for five of the detainees, Abdel-Moneim Abdel-Maqsoud, told Daily News Egypt Friday that according to a released detainee, authorities had tortured the detainees while in the custody of state security. The detainee, Adel Ghareez, had been left paralyzed as a result and was moved to a hospital after his condition had deteriorated. His brother remains in custody. "He was probably released because they thought he might die," Abdel-Maqsoud said, "until now I have not been permitted to see any of the detainees." Ghareez claims the detainees were left naked in an air-conditioned room for 24 hours, and that cold water was poured into their detention rooms.
