location: El-Hawamdia
notes: One prisoner was killed and 17 others injured in an attempted prison break from the Hawamdya Giza police station on 13 February. Police forces tried to stop them by firing tear gas to prevent them from escaping. In the process, 17 people experienced suffocation and a prisoner died in hospital after sustaining 'bruises' and 'fatigue'. The usage of tear gas was seen as evidence of using excessive violence against inmates.
