In every single event, demonstration or strike we have to snap at least one photo of the police officers, corporals, and plainclothes thugs present. We have to profile them, put their faces on the web and circulate their photos. A police officer cannot show up for a demonstration, beat the hell of out of peaceful protesters, then walk home and go out in his neighborhood with his family to have fun. No! A State Security officer cannot spend the day electrocuting the balls of a detainee and inserting a stick up someone else’s ass and then just simply go out in the weekend with his kids to the park peacefully, or have shisha in a public coffee shop, while those around think of him as a “normal” human being. These are dangerous torturers and rapists whom we do not want as neighbors or friends. They have to be exposed in front of their children, parents, neighbors and peers. Their pictures have to be everywhere, from the internet to the streets. And just like in any respectable country when there’s a dangerous criminal at large statements are broadcast with advisories and warnings to the public, we should also alert the citizens to those dangerous criminals whom we can’t unfortunately report to the police coz they are the police. Their pictures have to reach the widest range possible.

We need everyone’s help in that campaign. For a start, visit the group page on Flickr and begin uploading ya shabab. I’m sure many of you have tons of pictures on your hard drives of previous demos that may have clear shots of the faces of police agents present in the scene. Don’t leave them lying there. Start uploading whatever you have to the Piggipedia. Try to include in the captions and/or tags the place of the protest/event and whether you have any additional information about those police officers.

During the Saturday session of the Mahalla 49 trial (with 37 defendants only present), security chiefs of the town of Mahalla and the Gharbeia province were called on to testify as the prosecution witnesses. Uniformed police officers and soldiers formed a cordon around them, making it very difficult to approach them and take proper photos while they were standing in front of the Judges. Their answers were more or less typical, whenever they were asked any questions by the lawyers or Judge Muhammad Sameer: “I cannot remember. All information I have is in the police reports and the prosecution’s documents.”

Lt. Colonel Mohamed Fathi المقدم محمد فتحي

Police Lt. Colonel Muhammad Fathi was the first witness. Fathi headed Mahalla’s State Security branch during the April Uprising, and now is directing the Criminal Investigations Division at Mahalla’s 2nd Police Station.

Lt. Colonel Mohamed Fathi المقدم محمد فتحي

… His answers were limited to: “I can’t remember. All information I have is already in the police report and the prosecution’s documents.”

General Khaled Gharraba اللواء خالد غرابة

General Khaled Gharraba, of the Criminal Investigations Division at the Gharbeia Province Security Directorate, was no different.

General Khaled Gharraba اللواء خالد غرابة

His interrogation took few minutes, and his answers were similar to his colleague…

Brigadier General Sami Lutfi el-Sayyed العميد سامي لطفي السيد

… and to his other colleague, Brigadier General Sami Lutfi el-Sayyed, who headed in April the Gharbeia Province General Security branch, and now directs the Damietta branch…

Brigadier General Reda Tabliya العميد رضا طبلية

Then it was Brigadier General Reda Tabliya of the Criminal Investigations at the Gharbeia Province Security Directorate…

Colonel Ayman Rady Khamees المقدم أيمن راضي خميس

… followed by Colonel Ayman Radi Khamees, who heads the Criminal Investigations in Mahalla, and who for sure gave me the creeps. As soon as his name was shouted by the Judge, murmurs in the prisoners’ cage turned crescendo-style into shouts by the Mahalla detainees: “Ya zalem! Ya zalem! (You tyrant! You tyrant!)… May God avenge us, ya kafer (you, infidel)!” According to the prisoners, Colonel Khamees was one of the officers who personally oversaw the raids and torture of Mahalla suspects…

On Sunday, the following police officers gave their testimonies during the trial session that lasted from 12 noon to 4pm:
Lt. Colonel Amr el-Hindi (Criminal Investigations Division), Lt. Colonel Nabil Abdel Sabour (Criminal Investigations Division), Officer Muhammad Ali Saleh (Criminal Investigations Division), Lt. Colonel Hussein Fattouh Ghoneim (Criminal Investigations Division), Captain Amr Abdel Moneim Mustafa el-Harouni (Mahalla’s Counternarcotics Division), Captain Hossam Eddin Muhammad Ghareeb (Criminal Investigations Officer at Mahalla’s 2nd Police Station), Captain Haitham el-Shami (Criminal Investigations Officer at Mahalla’s 2nd Police Station), Major Khaled Ammar, (Mahalla Criminal Investigations Division Chief), Major Yasser Abdel Hamid Abdallah el-Sayyed (Criminal Investigations Division Chief at Mahalla’s 1st Police Station), First Lt. Wassim Farrag Shalaby (Mahalla’s 1st Police Station Criminal Investigations Division), Captain Saleh Kohiya (Criminal Investigations Division at Markaz el-Mahalla).
