SIS rejects Amnesty International allegation of torture of children

Amnesty International's allegations on the torture of children in Egypt is not based on "tangible evidence and lacks accuracy," the State Information Service (SIS) said in a statement on Thursday. The organization had published a statement on Wednesday accusing Egypt of disregarding basic children’s rights for subjecting six children “to horrific violations including torture, prolonged solitary confinement and enforced disappearance.”
