CAIRO — The Egyptian regime is continuing its police crackdown on political activists and dissidents, and authorities say they still have no leads into the whereabouts of former parliament member Mostafa al-Naggar, who many people fear was forcibly disappeared by the state almost a month ago.

On Oct. 13, Naggar posted on his official Facebook page about the possibility he would soon be jailed. He wrote, “Dear reader, if you can read this article now, then I must be behind bars.” Naggar has been missing ever since.
