Lt. Col. Hisham Tawfiq of Nasr City’s State Security Bureau.

His name first popped up in front of me in 2005, when it turned out it was him who kidnapped my two cousins for a week. My cousins were (and still are) religious, but apolitical. Hisham took them to Lazoughly, where he subjected them to electric shocks and severe beatings, while telling them: “I know you are not terrorists.. But I just want to be sure.”

His name appeared once again in the bogus case fabricated by State Security police last December: The Foreigners’ Jihadi Organization in Al-Azhar, that included one American, 11 Europeans, and a bunch of Egyptians and Arabs. And as always, the Westerners got deported, then released by their govts, because of how BS the evidence was… while the Egyptians and the Arabs were not heard of again.

And today, I read Hisham Tawfiq‘s name again. This time was among those State Security officers, who led the raids against the Muslim Brotherhood leaders currently on trial in a kangaroo military tribunal.

And it seems the safes that Hisham confiscated from the MB activists’ houses have become empty of their contents. So where did the money and the expensive items go?
