A video that was shot in June by one of the striking Petrojet workers, where Brigadier General Mamdouh Abbas of the military police is threatening the protesters with seven years in prison. Five workers were detained that day and taken to prison, before a military tribunal handed down a suspended one-year prison sentence.

UPDATE: In the video below, the Muslim Brotherhood declare their support for the police and army’s move against protesters in Tahrir. What a disgrace!

UPDATE: Check out this set of pix by Nora Shalaby. Interesting to see a new breed of thugs, in plainclothes but wearing official army and police helmets with bullet proof vests.

UPDATE: Also of course, Brigadier General Mamdouh Abbas of the military police was also there. Whenever this guy appears, troubles always follow.
