When Ahmed Medhat, a medical student at Ain Shams University, left his sister’s house on the evening of Aug. 29, little did his family know that this was the last time he would be seen alive. After several failed attempts to reach him on his cellphone, his brother spent the night frantically searching for him at police stations and hospitals in the Cairo suburb of Nasr City — but to no avail.
It was not until the following morning that the family of 21-year-old Medhat finally received news of his whereabouts.
