'Leave and don't look back,' masked gunmen tell freed prison inmates



After the conspicuous disappearance of security forces on the night of Friday, 28 January, conspiracy theories are still rife as to how and why several prisons experienced large-scale escapes in the following days. Al-Masry Al-Youm met with two escapees to hear their stories in hopes of shedding light on the issue.

...

Prisoners were not given any instructions except to “leave and don't look back.”

...

“There was a lot of shooting going on around the prison cells,” he said, recalling that the masked gunmen who released them had also used tear gas. “Who else in Egypt has tear gas except for the state security forces?”

...

Alaa got into one of the several cars that was waiting outside the prison and was dropped off in Cairo's northern Al-Marg district. “I was sitting between the masked men, but they didn't speak to me," he said. "They just dropped me off.”

...
