In an urgent statement Sunday, Shehab Center for Human Rights (SCHR) said: „Now, a massacre is underway terrorizing dozens of child political prisoners inside the juvenile confinement building in Kom El-Deka (in the seaport city of Alexandria – Egypt).

„We have received a number of desperate calls for help from parents of children held as political detainees inside that juvenile „welfare home“. Children are resisting security forces‘ attempts to move them to a notoriously tough penal institution in Cairo, known for its regular use of torture, cruelty and abuse of children detained there.“
