From Ikhwan Web:
Ikhwanweb received a new footage showing torturing and beating a citizen in front Al-Haram police station (south of Cairo).
The incidents in the footage date back to March, 8th, 2007 in front of Al-Haram police station, showing a citizen naked in the upper part of his body chanting slogans against the Egyptian regime to be quickly surrounded by a number of policemen of Al-Haram police station who beat and arrested him and took him into the police station.
A very disturbing report.
From AP:
Several rights groups on Wednesday blasted Egypt’s decision not to investigate the deaths of more than two dozen Sudanese refugees when police stormed their camp here in 2005.
A United Nations human rights panel last week called on Egypt to reopen an investigation into the Sudanese refugees’ deaths, but Egypt’s Foreign Ministry immediately rebuffed the request.
“The signers express their feelings of anger and rejection of the Foreign Ministry’s statement,” said the groups in a statement sent to The Associated Press.
In a report, the U.N. Committee on the Protection of the Rights of Migrant Workers said an Egyptian inquiry had been closed without clarifying the circumstances leading to the deaths.
