KAFR AL-SHEIKH, Egypt (Reuters) - Security forces detained Lotfy Ibrahim, a young construction worker, as he left a mosque near his home on the Nile Delta in the spring of 2015. When his family finally saw him again nearly three months later, he was in jail, looking badly brutalized.
"He rolled his sleeves down so we couldn't see the signs of torture," said Ibrahim's mother, Tahany. "But I saw burns on his arm. His face was pale, and his hair was shaved off."
