Amnesty International said Wednesday, July 31, 2019, that 130 detainees in a notorious Egyptian prison have been on hunger strike for more than six weeks to protest what it calls "cruel and inhumane detention conditions." The detainees are being held at a Cairo prison known as the Scorpion, part of Torah prison, where a number of political figures have been jailed over the course of a sweeping crackdown on dissent in recent years.
