NY Times notices that the Egyptian Brotherhood has brownshirts
CAIRO -- Islamist supporters of President Mohamed Morsi captured, detained and beat dozens of his political opponents last week, holding them for hours with their hands bound on the pavement outside the presidential palace while pressuring them to confess that they had accepted money to use violence in protests against him. Yehia Negm, a former diplomat, was detained and beaten. "It was torment for us," said Yehia Negm, 42, a former diplomat with a badly bruised face and rope marks on his wrists. He said he was among a group of about 50, including four minors, who were held on the pavement overnight. In front of cameras, "they accused me of being a traitor, or conspiring against the country, of being paid to carry weapons and set fires," he said in an interview. "I thought I would die." However, the NYTimes still refuses to acknowledge brownshirt violence of the Occupy movement or big labor. Posted by: lord garth 2012-12-13 |
