Farid Shaaban, a Muslim Brotherhood member from the district of Dessouk, Kafr El Sheikh, is currently undergoing torture by the state security forces in the governorate.
Shaaban was detained last March, 24, one day before the referendum on the constitutional amendments. He was leaving work alone in Damanhur when he was attacked by 8 persons who dragged him by force to the State Security Police headquarters in Damanhur, governorate of El-Behera. He was showered there with kicks with the hands and fists and obscene. On the second day, he appeared before the prosecutor who charged him of belonging to an outlawed group and distributing leaflets that call for boycotting the referendum.
On the third day, the prosecution decided to release him. However, the state security rejected the release and sent him to the State Security Police in Kafr Al-Sheikh. Officer Khaled Dabash insulted him and threatened him with arresting his wife and beating her and shocking her with electricity.

Police torture, sexually abuse family in Luxor

From Ikhwan Web:

A state of rage overshadows residents of the village of Al-Baghdadi, Luxor district, after an officer, corporals and detectives affiliated to a law enforcement force at Luxor police station stormed into a house of a citizen, and tortured him and his family after sexually harassing them. This caused several bruises and injuries in several places in their bodies and led to keeping them for two days in the intensive care unit at Luxor Public Hospital; after their recovery, the family members along with their caregiver lodged dozens of complaints to Human Rights Organizations, the attorney general and the Interior Minister; an official report of the incident was written, forcing the officer to offer 10000 pounds bribe to the family members to persuade them of withdrawing their complaint; however, they refused to do so; the police chief exercised pressure on the caregiver of the family and threatened him with fabricating drug trafficking cases against him and fabricating prostitution cases against his daughters unless he withdraws the complaint.
This tragic story dates back to a Thursday dawn two weeks ago when a law enforcement officer at Luxor police station broke into the house of citizen Sayed Ahmad Ibrahim Abdullah, 54 years, a day laborer living in Shaeikh Al-Baghdadi due to a primary sentence in absentia against him; he was taken away wearing only underclothes and was sent to Luxor police station after torturing him and tearing out clothes of his wife and daughters, leading to a clash with neighboring residents who protested at these indecent acts of the police. …..
His son Hafez, 26 years old farmer, added:” When I saw the policemen and officers torturing my father, my mother and sisters, I said to the officer:” We will inform the Interior Minister of your violations; he replied: “The Interior Minister can do nothing because we are carrying out orders and instructions; then they tied me with a rope and beat me and tore all my clothes even my underclothes in front of my sisters.”
