9 Egyptian kops detained over prisoner's death
2015-12-07
[AlArabiya] Nine Egyptian policemen have been arrested in an investigation into the death of a man in police custody in Luxor, officials said Sunday, after authorities vowed a crackdown on police abuses.
It would be lovely if the culture could be changed.
The nine, including three lieutenants and a captain, were arrested on Friday and Saturday as part of a probe into the death of the 47-year-old man at a police station last month.

Their arrests came amid at least two investigations into deaths in police custody and after President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi last week warned that police officers found guilty of “committing mistakes” would be punished.

The official MENA news agency said the arrests were ordered after a forensic report revealed that the man had died after being beaten on his neck and back.
