Family members of American activist arrested in Egypt
Egyptian authorities raided multiple homes and detained family members of
Egyptian-American human rights activist Mohamed Soltan, his organization, the Freedom Initiative, said on Tuesday.
A lawyer for Soltan, who now lives in the United States after almost two years in prison in Egypt, said the arrests were part of a campaign against the family to try to silence him.
The homes of six relatives were raided in the early hours of Sunday morning in Mounofiya and Alexandria, a statement released Tuesday said. Soltan’s cousins Moustafa Soltan and Khairi Soltan were immediately detained. A third cousin, Ahmed Soltan, was questioned about contact with Mohamed and told to turn himself in once a broken leg (unrelated to the raid) had healed.
