Egyptian activist Sanaa Seif ‘abducted’ in Cairo, family says
Sanaa Seif was filing a complaint at the public prosecutor's office when her family says she was forced into a minivan.
Egyptian activist Sanaa Seif was abducted outside the public prosecutor’s office in Cairo, her sister said Tuesday.
"Sanaa was just abducted by a microbus from in front of general prosecutor office!" Mona Seif tweeted. “Sanaa was ABDUCTED, and her abduction was facilitated by the official guards of the general prosecutor's office,” she added.
According to the family, authorities detained Sanaa and are charging her with "spreading false rumors, inciting terrorist crimes" and "misuse of social media."
The 26-year-old activist was waiting outside the public prosecutor’s office on Tuesday to file a complaint related to an attack on her family the previous day. She, Mona and their mother say they were attacked by a group of armed women outside the Tora prison complex Monday while police looked the other way.
