🔴 Forced Displacement and Solitary Confinement: Transfer of detained doctor “Mahmoud Abdel Moneim” from Minya Prison to solitary confinement in New Valley Prison… Al‑Shehab Center warns of serious risks to his safety

New information received by the Al‑Shehab Center for Human Rights has revealed extremely grave developments in the case of detainee “Dr. Mahmoud Abdel Moneim.” These include his arbitrary transfer from the high‑security Minya Prison to New Valley Prison on the 21st, and his immediate placement in solitary confinement from the moment of his arrival, amid escalating serious concerns about his physical and psychological safety.

📌 A Pattern of Abuses and a Harsh Record of Displacement:

A Journey of Mystery and Escort: These tragic developments come after news about Dr. Mahmoud abruptly went missing following his forced and sudden removal from his cell in Minya Prison to an undisclosed destination, before information emerged about his transfer to New Valley Prison and the imposition of solitary confinement on him.

A Lengthy Record of Harassment: It is noted that Dr. Mahmoud Abdel Moneim has previously been subjected to a series of serious violations during his long years of detention. This included an assault against him inside Wadi El‑Natrun Prison in 2017, as well as subjecting him to arbitrary transfer (forced displacement) to New Valley Prison in June 2022, as part of a deliberate policy aimed at multiplying his suffering and that of his family.

⚠️ Demands and Calls by the Al‑Shehab Center for Human Rights:

The Al‑Shehab Center expresses its deep condemnation and concern regarding the continued solitary confinement of Dr. Mahmoud Abdel Moneim. It calls on the relevant authorities urgently to:

End solitary confinement immediately: Remove Dr. Mahmoud from solitary confinement cells and ensure that he is not subjected to any form of torture or cruel or degrading treatment.

Allow family members and lawyers to visit: Grant his family and his lawyer immediate permission to visit him and communicate with him on a regular basis to verify his physical and psychological condition.

Disclose the circumstances: Provide transparent disclosure of the reasons and circumstances behind his arbitrary transfer and the reasons for placing him in solitary confinement.

Stop the forced displacement policy: Immediately halt arbitrary forced displacement practices and solitary confinement against detainees, and respect the laws and international and local instruments governing the treatment of persons in custody.

The Center holds the prison administration and the competent security authorities fully responsible for the safety of Dr. Mahmoud Abdel Moneim, calling for immediate and firm action to protect him from any deterioration in his health or any additional violations.
