Irene Ibrahim Shehata, a 21-year-old medical student at Asyut National University, disappeared on Jan. 22 between mid-term exams in Asyut, according to Raymond Ibrahim, distinguished senior Shillman fellow at the Gatestone Institute.

Her father reported in February that she had managed to make a desperate, tearful call to her brother before a man seized the phone and said, “OK, you heard her voice and know she’s OK, right? Now go to Hell!” before disconnecting, Ibrahim wrote in a report for human rights watchdog Coptic Solidarity.
