In a TV telephone interview in September 2021, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi announced the imminent inauguration of a prison complex in Wadi al-Natrun, to be Egypt’s largest and the first of seven or eight similar complexes.

We, the undersigned organizations, are profoundly concerned by the recent and rapid deterioration of conditions inside Egypt’s Badr Rehabilitation and Correctional Center, according to testimonies from detainees’ families.
