Mohamed Beltagy, senior leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, suffers from critical health condition in notorious Aqrab prison amid accusations of systematic neglect by the Egyptian regime
Senior Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed el-Beltagy, flashes the four-fingered symbol of Rabaah that refers to the deadly dispersal of supporters of former Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi in August 2013, after he was sentenced to 20 years by a Cairo court, in the Police Academy courthouse in Cairo, Egypt, Tuesday, April 21, 2015.
His son Ammar Beltagy spoke to TRT World about his father’s condition and said: “We do not have any opportunity to get information about my father’s health.” “On January 15, we heard that he had cerebral haemorrhage, however, he was not sent to hospital,” his son Ammar said. Ammar said that his father also suffers from high blood pressure but he has not taken medicine for it for a long time as the authorities are not providing any. The only time Beltagy's family receive any information about him is during court proceedings.
Beltagy’s daughter Asma was killed by forces under the command of Egyptian military general Abdel Fattah el Sisi in one of the worst state-organised mass killings of protesters in Egypt's Rabaa Square in August 2013.Together with Asma’s killing, Human Rights Watch reportsthat hundreds were killed with bullets to the head, neck and chest, and that security forces, including professional snipers on rooftops, fired indiscriminately into the crowds of protesters.
