I wonder how many other people are being abused, tormented and raped behind the ramparts of the despicable Arab regime’s prisons?

fantastic work you are doing – things like this needs to be published and spread – torture of any kind must be described of what it is – cruelty and crimes against humanity – fight the growing militarisation of our societies throughout the world – we have cases of torture in Austria too … I will write about it soon …

@Jill — There are so many times where blogging seems to make no difference at all, that it is great to be able to celebrate a victory. And of course, Emad deserves the credit for being willing to speak out. @Hisham — Exactly, how many cases of injustice will never be prosecuted, compared to this ONE for which the sadists were finally held to account? And what does this say about the nature of the Mubarak regime and his American enablers? I wish that whenever Condoleezza meets with Hosni, she would think of thisÂ video.... @Pierre — The blogger 3arabawy (Hossam el-Hamalawy) deserves credit far more than me for staying on top of this story. And behind him there is a network of Egyptian activist bloggers who have explored the story of police torture from all angles. Al-Jazeera tried to make a documentary on the issue before its reporter Howaida Taha was arrested and the tapes confiscated (she was later sentenced to six months in prison) â€” but 3arabawy's blog has been the best regular source of information about this, as it is for any issue of tyranny and resistance in Egypt, whether it be labor strife, blogger activism, or persecution of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Terrific of you to have stayed on top of this.

Very powerful stuff! I was sickened by the pictures but I thought it’s something worth watching. Thank you mate for bringing this to your friends attention and for uncovering some of the ugly aspects of the institutionalized torture in Egypt. How many other people are being raped, abused and tormented behind the ramparts of the despicable Arab regime’s prisons?

Thank you eatbees, for yet another insightful article. More than anything, it’s good to know how much of a difference blogging has made/can make when it comes to issues such as these.
