Italian student Giulio Regeni was
tortured for seven days before being killed, two Egyptian police
sources told Reuters Tuesday citing Cairo coroner Hisham Abdel
Hamid. The wounds on Regeni's body show the torture happened at
intervals of 10-14 hours, they said. "That means that whoever is
accused of killing him was interrogating him to get
information," the sources told Reuters. Regeni, a 28-year-old
Cambridge doctoral student researching Egyptian trade unions,
was found in a ditch outside Cairo on February 3 after
disappearing on January 25, the heavily policed fifth
anniversary of the uprising that ousted former strongman Hosni
Mubarak.
