Protester carrying a banner “We want dignity”, in front of the Ministry of Interior (MOI), in downtown Cairo, on the first anniversary of Khaled Said‘s death.
Hundreds demonstrated on Monday denouncing continued police torture, in Sheikh Rihan Street, in front of the main gate of the MOI, a place that was a big taboo to even stand at, let alone protest. I was detained and tortured at the SS headquarters in that compound in October 2000 on orders from SS General Hisham Abu Gheida.
