Resources on Egypt’s State Security Police
A long feature by Ahram Online sheds light on the systematic use of torture against Egyptians by the ousted Mubarak regime. The feature includes an interview with me, veteran activist Aida Seif el-Dawla and others.
Continuous updates and resources on police torture in Egypt could be found on this Diigo group.

| From SS Officers |
Amr L’Assar is a State Security Police general whose photos I found on the Nasr City SS DVDs. I don’t have information about his previous work with SS, but he’s now part of the newly founded National Security Sector’s Public Relations Department.
Khaled Said‘s stencils were sprayed by activists all over the entrance of the Ministry of Interior (MOI) and surrounding streets in downtown Cairo.
Hundreds demonstrated on Monday denouncing continued police torture, in Sheikh Rihan Street, in front of the main gate of the MOI, a place that was a big taboo to even stand at, let alone protest. I was detained and tortured at the SS headquarters in that compound in October 2000 on orders from SS General Hisham Abu Gheida.
