'No torture in Rabaa Al-Adawiya sit-in': El-Beltagy
Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed El-Beltagy says no torture occured during Rabaa Al-Adawiya pro-Morsi sit-in; Amnesty report includes testimonies from anti-Morsi protesters who claim otherwise
Ahram Online Published in Ahram Online on 04 - 09 - 2013

Senior Muslim Brotherhood leader, Mohamed El-Beltagy, denied on Wednesday that any torture took place during the six-week Rabaa Al-Adawiya sit-in, Ahram's Arabic website reported.
El-Beltagy, who is currently being detained on several charges, including 'inciting murder', told the prosecution that pro-Morsi Rabaa Al-Adawiya protesters dealt kindly with anyone visiting the sit-in, whilst in return they were attacked without reason.
He denied that any Muslim youth would kill and torture innocent souls.
El-Beltagy also denied the prosecution's charges that he had 'incited the torture and murder' of four civilians during the Rabaa Al-Adawiya sit-in.
The Muslim Brotherhood leader was arrested last Thursday, following an earlier warrant for his arrest and weeks of police searches.
Egyptian prosecution services detained him for 15 days, pending investigation.
On 2 August, International human rights organisation Amnesty International issued a statement containing several testimonies from anti-Morsi protesters, who alleged they had been captured, beaten, subjected to electric shocks and stabbed by supporters of the deposed president.
The statement added that at least eight bodies arrived at Zeinhom morgue in Cairo between late June and 28 July showing visible signs of torture. Five of the bodies were found near areas where pro-Morsi sit-ins were being held.
