notes: On 26 November 2019, a researcher at the human rights law firm Egyptian Commission for Rights and Freedoms (ECRF) appeared in front of the State Security Prosecution in Cairo (Al Wayli, Cairo) after 167 days of being held in an unknown location following his arrest. The researcher told his lawyers he was tortured during his detainment because guards were seeking information about the ECRF.
