Sinai families demand probe following killings
A new conflict between north Sinai residents and the Interior Ministry erupted when the latter announced the death of 10 people allegedly affiliated with Wilayat Sinai, which the residents dispute.
The families of 10 young men killed recently in the governorate of north Sinai are demanding an investigation into the deaths, rejecting the government's claim that the 10 were members of a terrorist group who died in a shootout with security forces.
The el-Arish families say many of the dead had actually been abducted by the government — in some cases months ago — and the government is trying to cover up the Interior Ministry's complicity in their forced disappearances and deaths.
