Egypt.. Interior Ministry Reveals the Truth About the Hunger Strike of Inmates in a Minya Prison

- The Egyptian Ministry of Interior denied what it described as "claims" circulated by pages affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood abroad, which included allegations of a hunger strike by several inmates in a prison in the Minya governorate in Upper Egypt, protesting against violations they faced. The Egyptian Ministry of Interior stated in a statement via its official account on the "X" platform, formerly Twitter, on Thursday: "A security source denied the accuracy of what was circulated by pages affiliated with the terrorist Brotherhood abroad on social media, which included claims of a hunger strike by several inmates in a rehabilitation center in Minya, protesting against violations, as well as the allegation of preventing food from being brought to the inmates during visits to force them to buy food products from inside the center."

The ministry added that the security source confirmed the "inaccuracy of these claims, and that there are no strikes taking place in any of the rehabilitation centers, and that the same pages have previously published these allegations multiple times and they were denied at the time." The Egyptian Ministry of Interior emphasized in its statement that "this comes as part of the ongoing and desperate attempts by the terrorist Brotherhood to obtain advantages for its members inside rehabilitation centers outside legal frameworks, and legal actions are being taken against those promoting these claims."
