Coordinator of the doctor strike, Ahmed Atef, who was kidnapped at the strike, returned back to his family after a week of disappearance. “I was kidnapped outside El-Nile Hospital in Shubra after been blindfolded and drugged. After being aware after a week, I was investigated by the kidnappers and then was thrown on one of the roads in the El-Moqatam region,” Atef said in his statements to Youm7. Dozens of doctors organized a demonstration outside the general deputy on October 17, condemning the kidnapping of Ahmed Atef for a week. They also criticized the ignorance of the Ministries of Health and of Interior and the Military Council to details of the incident. The demonstrators accused the National Security system of kidnapping Ahmed Atef because of his political activities recently. The demonstrators considered Atef's kidnapping a return to the policies and ways of the former regime.
