Source inside Egypt’s forensics authority claims student who was found dead in Cairo last week had broken ribs and traumatic injuries all over his body

The Italian student who was tortured and found dead in Cairo last week had seven broken ribs, signs of electrocution on his penis and a brain haemorrhage, according to a senior source inside Egypt’s forensics authority.

The authority on Saturday handed the prosecutor general’s office its final autopsy report on the Italian student who was tortured and found dead in Cairo last week.

Giulio Regeni, 28, had been researching independent trade unions in Egypt and had written articles critical of president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s government - prompting speculation that he was killed at the hands of Egypt’s security forces.

5. Egyptians can't help themselves?

7. We need to help each other

You can't see that those around the world that share values of civil liberties, democracy, equal rights, must band together and support each other in order to really change things? And in countries where they have no local voice, it is even more imperative that they know they have supporters and allies from around the world. Do you also decry Amnesty International? Tell that to the thousands of political prisoners whose freedom that they have been directly or indirectly responsible for.

Just because you yourself would never give the time or have the courage to donate to physically traveling to and helping directly to further the rights of oppressed peoples in other countries and yet criticize others for doing so makes you look ...(I'll leave that to others interpretation)
