H1 and H2 sections are located on the right of main entrance, surrounded by an internal wall and have two entrance doors made of iron grids and iron sheets to block the inside vision from the outside courtyard.The prison is composed of 4 main detention buildings forming the shape of an (H) letter, in addition to two-storey administrative building, and a follow-up extension containing small medical clinic and two buildings include officer's rest lounge, library, laundry and central kitchen.Tora prison is located 2 kilometers away from the main gate of Tora complex, and has extra additional surrounding fences.I tried to draw a picture of prison's interior based on satellite maps and testimonies of some former detainees and their families, whom I met personally, and was imprisoned during the period of Hosni Mubarak, or the reign of Adli Mansour and Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, and this is how it looks like: Officially, the prison opened its doors on 26th June 1993 during the reign of Interior Minister Habib al-Adli. The initial construction of Scorpion prison started in 1991, during the reign of Interior Minister Hassan al-Alfi under the rule of Hosni Mubarak, and was completed on. The creators back then were keen that large swathes of the prison overlook the course of the Nile, and in time more prisons were created inside Tora, forming a complex of prisons and the last one was Scorpion prison. It is the latest prison that was built in Tora complex, which was created in 1928 during the era of Monarchy in Egypt under the supervision of Wafdist Interior Minister Mustafa El-Nahhas. Scorpion Prison is part of Tora prison complex located in Tora area southwest of Helwan, south of Cairo. Originally, the idea of the prison derived from a group of Egyptian security service officers who returned from US training course at late 80's. Prison's official name is "Tora Prison 992 Maximum-security". I contacted my private sources to verify what happened, for my surprise these sources confirmed the occurrence of violations in the same day as reported, and provided me a list containing violations linked with names of detainees subjected to this acts, and the names of some officers who supervised such violations. These violations, which were taking place specifically in the H4 section Wing 4 at Tuesday and Wednesday 8th and 9th of December, involved torture ceremonies lasted for two days, resulted in many injuries between the political prisoners, and accounted for bones fractures as well as sexual abuse. On Thursday December 10th 2015, one of my friends responsible for human rights situation inside Egypt sent me an alarming message describing the violations occurred in the Egyptian infamous Aqrab (Scorpion) prison.
