CAIRO — Egyptian security forces over the last few days have arrested political and human rights activists in Cairo and in several Egyptian governorates who called for the release of prisoners and detainees in places of detention, as they fear the spread of the coronavirus and the threat it poses to the lives of prisoners.
The campaign included the arrest April 1 of prominent political activist Noha Kamal, daughter of Kamal Ahmed, a parliament member in the Alexandria governorate.
