Taunton Amnesty Group wrote letters to the National Council for Human Rights in Egypt to ask them to intercede with President Al-Sisi and urge clemency during Ramadan for Oqba Hashad. He is a 28 year- old business student, arbitrarily detained for 5 years because of his brother’s human rights activism. His brother is now in Germany.
Oqba had a leg amputated as a teenager: the prison authorities have denied him his prosthetic leg and subjected him to torture.
