The UK-based Arab Organisation for Human Rights (AOHR) reported that 12 female students have been assaulted and sexually harassed while in provisional detention in December 2013.
Families of the 12 students submitted complaints to AOHR claiming the victims were subjected to torture and sexual harassment at the hand of police officers following their arrest. Some of them underwent virginity tests at Nasr City police station.
Following their transfer to Al-Qanatir prison, the women were placed in the same cells as convicted criminals, which contravene the law and international standards
