This video contains graphic images and audio of torture and should only be viewed by a mature audience.
Code available here!
An unlawful practice in which numerous people have been illegally detained, tortured and enforced disappearance. Some regimes are endorsing torture of the most vile nature in what they call as "war on terror".
This video provides some evidence of this type of torture, but not necessary related to "war on terror" slogans. It is not enough to criticize U.S. only as the source of evil, some of Middle East regimes are responsible for the actions that is even worse.
We are complicit in the torture if we don't uncover this and talk about it. Let the world see who are the U.S. best allies. Distance from the tools used to inflict pain in no way reduces our part in these disgusting acts of barbarity if we don't show the world, where we live!
The dialogue is Egyptian-accented. A rough version of what's being said seems to be that the torturer is mockingly asking if the victim likes it, and the victim is saying please forgive me pasha [an honorific, like "sir"] , I won't do it again, Allah be with you. The torturer is then threatening the victim "do you like it son of the bitch? Enjoy... imagine when your people see all this..."

This is sick! Do you know how recent this incident was?
This is just as bad as the torture methods of Saddam’s regime, and probably worse than all the cases of torture in Abu Ghraib except for those where people died. Not that I don’t expect that people have been killed by Egyptian (or other Arab) police before.
You should post this on YouTube.
Please feel free to upload it to YouTube, Hamzeh. The original file is swf format and YouTube does not take this format, and honestly I don’t have the time to search for something and convert it.
DON’T DON’T DON’T I CANNOT watch this!!!!!I CANNOT LISTEN TO THESE SCREAMS!!!! DON’T DO THIS YOU MONSTERS!!!
IT IS SO HORRID … IT MADE MY BLOOD CURDLE!!!
How on earth can a human do that do another … what sadistic animals are these???? It is so terribly SICKENING!!!!
Sorry all, but I thought that Haitham should see this.
Don’t blame Haitham, blame me.
I was disgusted with this video and felt ill after watching it.
But it had to be shared to reveal what is really going on.
Again, I appologise. Sorry.
I have seen part of this video on German TV just two days ago, in a short report about police and torture in Egypt, and young people trying to stand up against it, particularily one young man whom the report focused on, who’s been a victim of the Egyptian police himself and who runs a blog to bring out information about what is going on in his country. The video absolutely leaves a lasting impression and yes, as the person above me said, it DOES need to be seen and known what is going on.
i think that officer should die
colourless Sadistic folks. God why wouldn’t you intervene when life is so damn damn painful?
I think the Egyptians have it right. They know how to take care of criminals. Just think our government is being attacked for keeping a terrorist standing too long, leaving the lights on all night, making it cold, maybe a little slapping. Sure and we torture people.
