Journalists to protest arrest of anti-torture activist

Updates on the Mansoura police torturers
Police informer Ahmad Abdel Azim confessed yesterday to the Prosecutor that Officer Muhammad Mo’awad took part in the assault on citizen Nasar Ahmad Abdallah who died under torture. Abdel Azim said that the officer beat the detainee with a wooden stick on his head.
Also, the Prosecutor has opened an investigation into the death of 12-year-old Muhammad Mamdouh Abdel Aziz, while Mubarak’s Torture Interior Ministry still insists the boy merely died because of lung respiratory inflammation.
