Egyptian Revolution Stalled – Police Brutality and Torture Continues (Video)

Egyptian Military Police Brutaly Beat and Humiliate a Woman Protester

The ruling Egyptian regime has consistently lied to it’s people and the world about the extent force is used against demonstrators and activists. The world in general wasn’t fooled. There are enough pictures and videos finding their way to the world’s media to know the truth.

Some Egyptians, however, were fooled. A significant number of the general public thought the latest protests unnecessary and even criminal. Some still do, but it’s not the protesters who are the criminals. The criminals are those in power from the Prime Minister all the way down to the military thugs on the street.

Unlike Syria, the Egyptian media have not been totally locked down. There exists a relatively free press that does sometimes report truth. Splashed across the front page of Al-Tahrir, a liberal Egyptian daily, a photo of a semi-naked woman shocked the nation. The blunt red headline read “Liars”, the paper described the use of overwhelming force against protesters. But the Prime Minister Kamal el-Ganzouri continued to deny it.

It resulted in wide coverage inside Egypt, which then spread across the world. An amateur video shows up to ten of Egypt’s military police partly stripping and viciously clubbing a woman. They exposed her torso and blue bra, something shameful to an Egyptian woman. While she lay on the street a group of military thugs kicked her in the head and stamped on her chest.

Pictures of a woman being beaten and humiliated have reminded people that the revolution in February was about ridding Egypt of judicial brutality and a regime that existed by it. Has anything really changed? Watch the video.
