Amnesty: Hundreds 'disappeared' by Egyptian forces

Activists say people are being detained without access to family or a lawyer, and held incommunicado without formal charges or a trial. They call it "enforced disappearances," and in the first five months of 2016 alone, a suspected 630 of these have already been documented, Amnesty says.

That amounts to an average of four or five people each day since 2015, according to the group. Half of these may never resurface.
