Torture’s Teacher

Posted on 01/10/200809/01/2021 By 3arabawy

USAID on torture:

When you receive a subject, the first thing to do is to determine his physical state, his degree of resistance, through a medical examination. A premature death means a failure by the technician.
Another important thing to know is exactly how far you can go given the political situation and the personality of the prisoner. It is very important to know beforehand whether we have the luxury of letting the subject die…
Before all else, you must be efficient. You must cause only the damage that is strictly necessary, not a bit more. We must control our tempers in any case. You have to act with the efficiency and cleanliness of a surgeon and with the perfection of an artist.

On a related note, I strongly recommend you watch this movie.

Journalist side-lined for criticizing government in Al-Ahram column

From the Daily News Egypt:

Local press reports allege that Prime Minister Ahmad Nazif has twice disqualified journalist and poet Farouk Goweida from nomination for membership of the Supreme Council for Culture over the past three months in retaliation for a series of articles critical of the government.
The article series titled “The Land Mafia,” which were published in the state-owned Al-Ahram newspaper, heavily criticized the government for not following due process when selling state-owned land to investors and businessmen.
