Tora Prison
Two officers and one policeman were killed Wednesday during an attempt to escape carried out by four inmates in Tora prison who are sentenced to death.
Egypt's General Prosecution said it assigned a forensic doctor to examine the body of the detained member of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood group Essam El Erian, who passed away on Thursday, and found no signs of abuse, which suggests that he died from natural causes.
Correspondents from foreign media platforms visited the Tora prison complex south of Cairo, known for housing many inmates over terrorism-related charges, according to a statement by the Egyptian Ministry of Interior published on Wednesday.
Prosecutors on Monday released of a major general, 6 officers and 8 non-commissioned officers pending investigations into the escape of inmates from a police vehicle in Maadi.
