ElBaradei Leads Anti-Torture Demonstration in Egypt………
“Mohamed ElBaradei, the ex-atomic watchdog chief turned Egyptian dissident, led thousands of protesters in the northern city of Alexandria on Friday demanding an end to police brutality. ElBaradei emerged from the Muslim weekly prayers in Alexandria's Sidi Gaber district to rapturous applause from a 4,000-strong crowd chanting "Change" and holding posters of 28-year-old Khaled Said who was allegedly killed this month at the hands of police officers. ElBaradei, who had earlier visited Said's family to offer condolences, struggled to move through the crowd as protesters rushed to reach him, some kissing his hands, others patting him on the back……. Disturbing images of Said's battered and bruised face have appeared on social networking websites, sparking public outcry and condemnation from local and international rights groups………..”
He was beaten and battered, yet the Mubarak regime and its thugs claim he dies of asphyxiation. They claim he died because he swallowed some drugs, they forgot to claim that he was a terrorist as well. That would have made it acceptable in the West.
