Egypt: Blogger's life in danger after 3 weeks of torture

In a 15 June 2006 communiqué submitted to the public prosecutor, the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information holds the Interior Ministry totally responsible for the life and health condition of blogger and prisoner of opinion Mohammad Al-Sharqawi. HRinfo demands that the public prosecutor require the Interior Ministry to allow Al-Sharqawi to be admitted to hospital, where he could receive necessary medical care for injuries resulting from torture, particularly injuries to his hips and left arm.
