Two police officers and a corporal will be referred to the Cairo Criminal Court “within few days” to stand trial for charges of abusing citizens in custody, in the latest development of police torture videos scandal.

Prosecutor Bakr Ahmed Bakr, reported Al-Masry Al-Youm today, decided there was sufficient evidence to prosecute Officer Islam Nabih and Corporal Reda Fathi of Boulaq al-Dakrour Police Station (seen in action above), as well as Lieutenant Mustafa Shehata of El-Haram Police Station (seen in action below).

Meanwhile, a source inside the State TV & Radio building told Al-Masry Al-Youm “security procedures are being taken” inside the building to determine the identity of the woman believed to be the victim in the third video clip under investigation.

Note there are other videos the prosecution is not looking into, including those from Imbaba Police Station, like this one…

and this one from the El-Montaza Police Station…

and this one from Kefaya’s anti-corruption protest…

You add to that the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of cases of police brutality and abuse under Mubarak’s regime against political detainees and ordinary citizens…

Anyways, I wish Islam Nabih, Reda Fathi and Mustafa Shehata all the best with the shame and public humiliation they will bring on themselves and their families… Merry Xmas ya Adly

    Being an egyptian and knowing the history of police brutality this isn’t something new. It’s just becoming evident through means of video and the internet. Ever single person in authority in egypt needs to be prosecuted for crimes against humanity, including Pres. Mubarak.
