Prisoners 'beaten to hell' in Cairo, says sister of captured Irish teen

A 17-year-old Irish boy caught up in violence in Cairo and detained by the Egyptian authorities might have been “beaten to hell”, his sister has claimed.

Ibrihim Halawa, 17, and his three sisters Omaima, 20, Fatima, 22, and Somaia, 27, were among hundreds of people cleared out of the Al Fateh mosque when security forces stormed the building on Saturday.
