"Nabil Rajab the distinguished human rights activist has seen the torture of children in prison by his own eyes and has filed complaints regarding these matters but they have never been investigated by the officials. Non-prosecution of guilty elements is the main cause of Alsheikh’s martyrdom," Almohafeza added.
