Khaled Gharraba خالد غرابة
General Khaled Gharraba, the former head of Criminal Investigations Division at the Gharbeia Province Security Directorate, whose men oversaw the mass detentions and torture of protesters during the Mahalla April 2008, was rewarded a promotion in 2010, by General Habib el-Adly, becoming the security director of Alexandria’s eastern sector.
General Gharraba is now the police chief of Alexandria, and you can see him in the video below, promising the Alexandrian citizens last Friday a “new age where the citizens come first”:
Yeah, right! People like you should be in prison for the torture and the fabrication of charges against the poor people of Mahalla!
We cannot keep this musical chairs game going on for long. Not only do we need to dissolve the State Security Police and Central Security Forces, but also we have to put all those interior ministry officials who were involved in torture and repression on trial. They have to face justice.
