Released detainees speak of torture in Mubarak’s Gulag
In an interview with El-Badeel, released Karama Party activist Ahmad Amin Ahmad Eid said that:
Kareem el-Beheiri was tortured in Mahalla’s State Security Police office for more than 18 hours. He told me his torturer was listening to the Quran while torturing him. I saw in Mahalla’s 2nd Police Station children no more than 13 years old, whose eyes and bodies were injured by rubber bullets. They said police kidnapped them from the hospital where they were receiving treatment and accused them of participating in the strike.
