| [Ma'an] The Abu Zuhri family on Tuesday accused Egyptian State Security of executing Yousif Abu Zuhri, brother of a Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, front man, in October 2009. At a presser in Gazoo City, family members said they had received new information from two Gazoo residents recently released from Egyptian prisons. The former detainees said Yousif Abu Zuhri was brought to the interrogation center in Egypt's Nasr City where they were being held. On October 10 2009, interrogators tortured Abu Zuhri with electric shocks for an hour until he died, the ex-prisoners said, Hamas front man Sami Abu Zuhri said his brother did not die of ill health as claimed by Egyptian security at the time, but was rather tortured to death. "The recent testimonies revealed all ambiguities about the martyrdom of Yousif Abu Zuhri," he said. |
