Hamas Claims Member Tortured to Death in Egyptian Jail
[AFP] Hamas charged on Tuesday that Yusef Abu Zuhri, 38, the brother of Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri, was tortured to death in an Egyptian prison. Former detainees and human rights groups have repeatedly accused Egypt's security services of torturing prisoners, and earlier this year the Egyptian Organization for Human Rights said 13 citizens had been tortured to death between June 2008 and February 2009.
