A shocking video showing Egyptian police raping a male prisoner was posted on the Internet
by an Egyptian blogger in November 2006. The victim was Emad Mohamed
Ali Mohamed, known as Emad al-Kabir, a 21-year-old taxi driver. He had been arrested the
previous January after trying to stop an argument between police officers and his cousin.
He was accused of “resisting the authorities” and presented before the Public Prosecutor, who
ordered his release on bail. However, police took him back to Bulaq Dakrur Police Station in Giza
governorate and the next day – 20 January 2006 – they tortured him.
