P*****t 发帖数: 4978 | 1 Muslim Brotherhood Detainees Killed In Prison Conflict
CAIRO, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Some 38 supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood died
on Sunday in an incident at an Egyptian prison, security and legal sources
said, giving conflicting versions of the deaths.
The Interior Ministry did not immediately confirm the death toll, but said
in a statement that a number of detainees had tried to escape from a prison
on the outskirts of Cairo and had taken a police officer hostage.
In subsequent clashes, the ministry said an undisclosed number of people had
died from inhaling tear gas rounds. It added that the officer was freed but
badly wounded.
However, offering a different explanation, a legal source told Reuters that
the Brotherhood followers had suffocated in the back of a crammed police van
while being taken to prison.
More than 800 people have died in Egypt since last Wednesday in clashes
pitting backers of deposed Islamist President Mohamed Mursi and security
forces. Police have said they have arrested more than 1,000 Brotherhood
sympathisers in recent days as part of a broad crackdown aimed at ending
weeks of political turmoil.
