The Al-Aqrab Prison (Arabic: سجن العقرب, lit. 'The Scorpion Prison'; official name Tora Prison 992 Maximum-Security) is a supermax prison in Helwan, Egypt, south of Cairo. It is used for political prisoners and opponents of the Egyptian government, who include Muslim Brotherhood and April 6 Youth Movement leaders, as well as political activists. Inmates allegedly suffer from ill-treatment and shortages of food.[1][2] The prison became known during the rule of Hosni Mubarak.[3]
