<\/h2>\n

West Cairo prosecution is currently investigating the case of Gamal Kamal Eweida, 41 and a Copt, who died in police custody at Manshat Nasser police station.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Eweida had been caught by the police on 18 July on allegations of faking paperwork needed for vehicle licenses. A day later, the police informed his family that he had committed suicide while in custody, by hanging himself on a rope that had been in his trousers from the window of the cell he was imprisoned in.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Eweida\u2019s family had a different story to tell. His brother-in-law Erian Hanna told Watani that Eweida earned a living by offering to help individuals obtain vehicle licenses, for a fee. A police officer insisted that Eweida should split the fee with him; when he refused, Mr Hanna said, the police officer avenged himself by detaining him.<\/span><\/h2>\n

The police say that three other men were detained together with Eweida on the same charges. But Eweida was placed alone in a cell. A policeman said that, when he checked on him he found him dead, hanging by a rope from his cell window.<\/span><\/h2>\n

An investigation is underway; the prosecution is questioning two police officers and a policeman from Manshat Nasser police station. The official after-death report should be out shortly.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Eweida leaves behind a wife and two teenage children.<\/span><\/h2>\n
