CAIRO - Egyptian authorities have refused to allow detained activist Mohammed Al Sharqawy to receive treatment for injuries he incurred during a beating by the police, his lawyer said Thursday. “His life is in real danger,” said lawyer Gamal Eid of his client, who has alleged that Egyptian police sodomized him with a foreign object following his arrest last month.
"Oooowwwww, that hurts! I need a doctor!"
"Where's it hurt again?"
"Right here!"

“Al Sharqawy has been subject to violent torture and abuse at the hands of police officers at the Qasr Al Nil police station that caused him several injuries in different parts of the body,” the statement said.
It added that despite the injuries, the interior ministry continues to deny him “the necessary medical care, including his urgent need for treatment on his left arm.” “Today we have submitted a communiquÚ to the public prosecutor demanding it to oblige the interior (ministry) to provide Al Sharqawy with the required medical care,” it said. |
