A STUDENT at Cambridge was ruthlessly tortured and murdered after he was mistaken for a British spy plotting against Egypt, a court has heard.secret service officials as they left his body burnt and sliced to pieces in the bottom of a ditch, claim prosecutors.
It is believed he was tortured by intelligence officers with sticks, lit cigarettes and razor blades after they snatched him from a metro station. His official cause of death was said to be from a fatal neck injury that likely resulted in the broken vertebra. Giulio was in Egypt trying to work on his doctoral thesis for Cambridge on Egypt's independent unions.
Simone Pieranni, the foreign desk editor at il Manifesto, said Giulio published the work under a pseudonym out of fear of being attacked."It's clear that when you speak about social rights and workers' rights in Egypt you are implicitly denouncing the lack of freedom."The four men named in the court documents as suspects are General Tariq Sabir, Colonels Athar Kamel and Uhsam Helmi, and Major Magdi Ibrahim Abdelal Sharif.
