Our political circus.
Two new police related videos surfaced online. One video, recorded by a mobile phone, is of several hundred Alexandrians last spring trying to break into El-Montazah police station to take revenge for the March 2006 killing of 19-year-old Youssef Khamis Ibrahim by a police agent in cold blood. As the funeral was passing in front of the police station, the mourners pelted it with stones and tried to break into it. A big number of demonstrators managed to break into the police station and destroyed its front wall. The clashes injured a number of policemen and destroyed some police vehicles. More than eight persons were detained.
The other video is of the Interior Ministry’s “thugs militia” attacking Muslim Brotherhood activists and voters in front of a polling station in El-Ramla constituency in Alexandria, during the November 2005 parliamentary elections.
