JHR has reported the death of detainee ‘Omar Adel Abul-Fottouh’, 25 years old, in Tora (investigation prison), as he died in the Chamber of Discipline due to a sudden interruption of the heart muscle, according to the prison administration, although he was not suffering from any diseases when he was arrested in February 2014, and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for a military case.
