Egypt Google staffer faces risk of torture: Amnesty

Egypt Google staffer faces risk of torture: Amnesty: "Rights watchdog Amnesty International said Sunday that an Egyptian executive of the Google software giant who was snatched from the street during anti-government riots faces a serious risk of torture.

Wael Ghoneim was arrested by Egyptian security forces during protests on Friday and his whereabouts are unknown, Amnesty said, adding he 'is facing a serious risk of torture and other ill-treatment by security forces.'

'The Egyptian authorities must immediately disclose where Wael Ghoneim is and release him or charge him with a recognisable criminal offence,' said Amnesty's regional deputy director, Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui."
