On February 17th 2003 Egyptian citizen Abu Omar was strolling along a street in Milan to attend noon prayers at his local mosque when he was seized by a couple of men in plain clothes, bundled into a white van and driven to a nearby military airport. He was flown out of Italy to Germany, and then on to Egypt where he ended up in prison. He remains under arrest, and his lawyers claim he has been tortured.
