Two police officers are under investigation after two teenagers alleged that the officers ordered other prisoners to rape them at a police station, prosecution officials said Wednesday.
A lieutenant and first lieutenant at the Kafr el-Sheik station allegedly ordered older prisoners to rape the teenage boys, ages 16 and 17, after the two were arrested for drug possession last week and ordered detained for four days, the officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media about the case.
After their release, the teenagers’ families filed a complaint with the local prosecutor’s office, and a forensic examination taken after they left police custody showed they were recently sexually abused, the officials said.
The Egyptian government has not confirmed the investigation. But on Wednesday, the Interior Ministry released a statement saying the police director of the Kafr el-Sheik station, a police general and two of his senior assistants were removed from their posts and transferred to administrative jobs. The statement did not elaborate.
From the Daily News…
A man in Qalubyia is accusing three police officers of torturing and sodomizing him in June of last year.
This comes only a week after two police officers were sentenced to three-year prison terms for torturing and sodomizing microbus driver Emad Al-Kabir.
Police officers Mohammed Ashour, Sherif Abdel Salam and Ahmad Sayed from the Cairo suburb of Al-Qanater Khaireya, were reportedly indicted on Sunday on charges of “resorting to violence.” The case is to be heard this week.
The victim, 27-year-old Ahmad Sayed Hassanein, claims that he was arrested by Lieutenant Muhammad Ashour on June 1, 2006 on charges of drug possession and subsequently transferred to the police station where officers Sherif Abdel-Salam and Ahmad Sayed Abul-Fotouh allegedly tortured and sexually assaulted him with a stick.
When Hassanein shortly thereafter appeared in court to face accusations of drug trafficking, he accused the police officers of torturing and sodomizing him.
A coroner’s report confirmed signs of torture and sexual abuse on the victim’s body, according to the Associated Press.
In another twist in the case, a relative of Hassanein alleged that a group of police officers paid a visit to Hassanein’s family home hoping to reach a bargain.
If Hassanein dropped the torture charges, the charges of drug possession against him would be waived, the officers allegedly offered. But the family declined, according to a report by Al-Masry Al-Youm.
