Overview

  • Mohamed Amra has filed a formal complaint accusing three prison guards of using excessive force during his detention on March 24, 2025.
  • Amra alleges he was thrown to the ground and injured by guards after failing to comply with instructions to lie on his stomach, resulting in an ankle injury now treated with a cast or brace.
  • The prison administration counters that Amra resisted orders and injured himself by kicking a cell grille, labeling his injuries as minor.
  • Amra’s legal team has requested access to surveillance footage of the incident, filing a legal motion to expedite its release due to time-sensitive data retention policies.
  • This case has brought renewed scrutiny to Amra’s detention conditions, which include strict solitary confinement following his violent 2024 escape and nine-month manhunt.
