‘All the people were tortured’

Eman إيمان

Eman, a legal administrator in the Education Ministry and the sister of Mahalla defendant Raafat Muhammad, interviewed last Saturday:
“He was taken from the house on 10 April, 3am, by an informer form Mahalla’s 2nd Police Station named Ibrahim el-Game’i and the Criminal Investigations officer Khaled Ammar. Later he was taken to State Security’s office in Mahalla.
“They tortured him,” she said while collapsing into tears. “All the people (prisoners) were tortured. The officers and informers stepped on their (detainees’) private parts with their shoes, while asking them to identify persons in pictures. They electrically shocked my brother on his shoulders. He and the rest were blindfolded most of the time, and had their hands handcuffed from the back.”

“Are we coming from Israel?!” shouted the Mahalla prisoners from their court cage before the start of the trial session, last Saturday. “Prisoners of War receive better treatment than us.” Addressing the police officers and informers, some of whom were involved in their torture, in the court room: “You are shewayet kafara (a bunch of infidels)! You don’t feel what we are going through!”

I came across this Flickr set, which has some interesting photos of the 1950s Egyptian resistance against the British occupation.
