🚨 Today marks eight years since the arrest of human rights lawyer Ibrahim Metwally, coordinator of the Association of Families of the Disappeared, spent in what is known as "pretrial detention" without conviction, before being referred to trial in three cases simultaneously on similar charges of terrorism, and without investigating the circumstances of his enforced disappearance, torture, detention conditions, or denial of adequate medical care. The only crime of our colleague Ibrahim Metwally is his demand to clarify the fate of his son Amr, who has been forcibly disappeared since July 2013. On this eighth anniversary, we invite you to read this documentary report on the facts of his exceptional injustice.
