The government is trying to brainwash people into indulging in the false relieving belief that police treats all criminals in the 5-star way, and that only really really bad and guilty criminals are likely to falsely claim that they were abused by the police.

It’s the same technique over and over. The first thing the police would leak to the news is that the allegedly tortured citizen was a rapist or child molester or mother-beater, hoping to induce public sympathy with the poor officer who couldn’t but beat the *criminal*.

And since this particular series is broadcast on Arab Satellite TV, it is obviously a well planned attempt to cleanse the rightfully tarnished Egyptian governments reputation, by means of misinformation. All fabricated in Safwat’s state studios of “ElReyada ElE’lameyya”.
