BACKGROUND

Amnesty International reported on 1st April, 2013: “many people held captive in Sinai have been subjected to extreme violence and brutality while waiting for ransoms to be paid by families. Including beatings with metal chains, sticks and whips; burning with cigarette butts or heated rubber and metal objects; suspension from the ceiling; pouring gasoline over the body and setting it on fire…being urinated on and having finger nails pulled out. Rape of men and women, and other forms of sexual violence have been frequently reported.”
