schema:articleBody	Egyptian police arrested four prominent women dissidents Wednesday after they demanded the release of prisoners for fear of a coronavirus outbreaks in jails, their families said. The four activists -- Mona Seif, her mother Laila and aunt Ahdaf Soueif, and academic Rabab al-Mahdi -- held a small demonstration in front of the cabinet building in central Cairo. "We are in front of the cabinet building, asking for the state to take serious steps regarding coronavirus in prisons. As we know, at the best of times Egypt's prisons are clusters for disease," Mona Seif said in a live Facebook video before her phone was taken away by policemen and the feed switched off. Prominent human rights lawyer Khaled Ali said the activists were referred to the prosecution for questioning. A younger sister, Sanaa Seif, said she was prevented from seeing her relatives at a Cairo police station. AFP contacted the interior ministry to confirm details of their arrest but did not receive a response. Mona Seif is the sister of well-known blogger and activist Alaa Abdel Fattah, who was imprisoned last September after rare, small-scale protests erupted demanding the toppling of President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi. She had been vocal on social media in recent weeks raising awareness about conditions in Egyptian prisons and the dangers of contagion. Human rights groups have repeatedly criticised overcrowding and lack of hygiene. On Tuesday, Laila Soueif wrote to Egypt's attorney general urging him to free prisoners. "The only way to prevent detention centres becoming hubs for spreading the pandemic and endangering the entire population of the country is to release as many prisoners as possible," she wrote. Ahdaf Soueif is a highly regarded novelist and Rabab al-Mahdi is a political science professor at the American University of Cairo. Human Rights Watch said earlier this week that an epidemiological "disaster" could be spared if authorities arranged for conditional releases of prisoners. Egypt has reported 196 COVID-19 cases and six deaths so far. ff/kir
