The Abu Za'bel correctional facility, where a number of Palestinian political prisoners are being detained, has become a focus of danger.
Fire has erupted in warehouses neighboring the Cairo prison, said Emad al-Sayyid, the spokesman of the society of families of prisoners in Egyptian jails.
The Egyptian army and prison guards have also clashed with prisoners, killing eight and injuring several others, he told Quds Press.
