The foreign press is still not done covering the recent demonstrations in Egypt. Deutsche Welle and Al Monitor were each out with a piece on the economic reforms and austerity measures that drove the demonstrations. Meanwhile, Amnesty International is alleging that prominent activist Alaa Abdel Fattah has been subjected to torture during his detention at Tora prison, and is calling on Egyptian authorities to investigate the allegations. Amnesty also condemned the sentencing of two individuals tortured as children to 10-year jail sentences in a separate statement.
