Family of Coptic man killed in police station claim his rights
An Egyptian prosecution official said on Saturday authorities were investigating the death of a Coptic man at a police station. His son said that the family has filmed the body to prove he was tortured by police and to claim his rights.
 
The 50-year-old Coptic Christian Magdy Makin, a fish vendor, had been detained in a police station before his family received his corpse on Monday.
 
His son said that they have not filed complains to any foreign authorities since they love Egypt and trust the Egyptian judiciary.
