In a former post I talked about Egypt's political situation and about how kids were arrested unfairly. I found a very interesting article in aljazeera.com (a online news website) about this very same situation. The article I found didn't talk about kids in specific. It did talk about how was life for Egyptian detainees. I learned from the article that Egypt's police tortures physically and emotionally the captives by beating them up or humiliating them.
The article described the case of a 22 year old young man who was tortured and RAPED inside a police station in Egypt. It appears that the Egyptian government (which should take care and make sure that the rights of the people are protected) doesn't have a word to say about this. Even the media in Egypt is ignoring this huge issue. The victim was tortured with knives and electrocuted and then raped after denying he was related to the "Muslim Brotherhood." The article also describes how an activist is asking for help to the civil rights organization. I believe this is something really huge to ignore. It is the duty of the human rights organizations to intervene it is clear that Egypt isn't a save environment to live in. The government let all that mess happen and it is out of control and in my opinion for other countries and entities to intervene.
Click HERE for a link to the article I just described, there, you can watch a short video and learn a little bit more about this theme.
