Talking of “reform and the restructuring” of the interior ministry:
Ahmad Abdel Basset, the Daqahliya Security Director who commanded the crackdown, murder and torture of the protesters in the province during the uprising, has now been transferred to lead the Security Directorate in Alexandria.
In Beheira, prisoners rioted in Al-Ab’adiya as soon as they received news that Police Colonel Sami Zeitun, the Criminal Investigations Liaison Officer in prison and who is involved in torture, was returned to service in the prison once more. The police responded to the riot with live ammunition, killing three inmates according to the Interior Ministry’s statement. The prisoners however say at least 10 were killed.
