Essam el-Erian, a senior leader in Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood and former MP, died on Thursday in Cairo's Tora prison complex, local media reported citing sources.
Egypt's prison authorities have not yet officially confirmed the death.
Erian, 66, had not been allowed visits for the past six months due to the coronavirus lockdown, his lawyer told BBC Arabic.
A physician by profession, Erian was also the vice-president of the Freedom and Justice Party, the political wing of Egypt's largest opposition movement, the Muslim Brotherhood.
He served as a member of parliament after the 2011 revolution that toppled longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak.
Erian and other Brotherhood leaders were arrested following the 2013 military coup led by then-defence minister Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who is now president. The coup ousted Sisi's democratically elected predecessor Mohamed Morsi, who hailed from the Brotherhood.
Morsi himself died in custody last year at the age of 67, due to what UN experts and human rights groups said was deliberate medical negligence by authorities.
Since becoming president in 2014, Sisi has led a relentless crackdown against his opponents from across the political spectrum.
Erian was among those sentenced to life imprisonment following the coup. The trials of Erian and other Brotherhood leaders have been condemned by rights groups as politically motivated.
Anna Julia Haywood Cooper born on August 10, 1858 in Raleigh, North Carolina, was an author, educator, sociologist, speaker, Black liberation activist, and one of the most prominent Black scholars in United States history.
Born enslaved in 1858, Anna and her mother, Hannah Stanley Haywood, were held in bondage by George Washington Haywood (1802–1890), one of the sons of North Carolina's longest serving state treasurers, John Haywood who helped found the University of North Carolina, but whose estate was later forced to repay missing funds. Her brothers, Andrew and Rufus, were purchased by another slaveowner Fabius J. Haywood.
After the Civil War 1868, when Cooper was nine years old, she received a scholarship and began her education at the newly-opened Saint Augustine's Normal School and Collegiate Institute in Raleigh, North Carolina. Cooper excelled academically wherever she went. It enabled her to work as a tutor for younger children, which also helped her pay for her educational expenses.
Anna Haywood married George A.G. Cooper, a teacher of theology at Saint Augustine’s, in 1877. When her husband died in 1879, Cooper decided to pursue a college degree. She attended Oberlin College in Ohio on a tuition scholarship, earning a BA in 1884 and a Masters in Mathematics in 1887.
Cooper made contributions to social science fields, particularly in sociology. Her first book, A Voice from the South: By a Black Woman of the South, is widely acknowledged as one of the first books on Black feminism and Black pride, giving Cooper the often-used title of "the Mother of Black Feminism.” In addition to calling for equal education for women, A Voice from the South advanced Cooper’s belief that educated Black women were necessary for uplifting all Black people. The book of essays won national attention, and Cooper lectured across the country and Europe on topics such as education, civil rights, and the status of black women.

The largest mass internment of an ethnic-religious minority group since World War II. Concentration camps can now be seen on social media. Popular brands can shamelessly benefit from the forced labor of our brothers and sisters. As we keep them in our prayers, we need sustained public awareness, targeted boycotts, media campaigns, and to make it impossible for politicians to ignore them.
