Esraa el-Taweel, Omar Ali and Suhaib Saad had planned to have a fun night out when they went for a horse ride and a nice dinner June 1. The three friends never anticipated that they would not make it back home.
When all three stopped answering their phones, their families got worried. Ali’s sister Sara is a journalist who learned through her sources that there were dozens of random arrests that night.
