Amnesty International on Tuesday accused Egypt’s rulers of levels of brutality that sometimes exceed those of Hosni Mubarak’s regime, saying that the hopes of protesters had been “crushed” since the former president was forced to step down.

It said that Egypt’s Supreme Council of Armed Forces, which assumed control after the 18-day uprising that toppled Mr Mubarak in February, had made only empty promises to improve human rights.

Crackdowns on dissent have claimed numerous lives, including at least 33 people who have been killed in Cairo’s Tahrir Square over the past few days as throngs returned to the crucible of the earlier pro-democracy protests.

Amnesty’s report was issued as protestors in the second city of Alexandria reported that tear gas had been fired on from helicopters. The health ministry said 40 people had been injured though students claimed the real number was in the hundreds.

The human rights group said military courts had tried thousands of civilians and emergency law had been extended. Torture had continued in army custody, and there were consistent reports of security forces employing armed “thugs” to attack protesters, it added.

  1. Egyptian military will not let the tiger out of the cage. They don`t want to be eaten alive, but they will throw the tiger a few cops.

  2. Just a footnote

    The perpetrators of human rights violations also covertly control virtually all the human rights organizations i.e. Amnesty Internations, Human Rights Watch etc on this planet. In the end, they are ultimately there to protect the status quo.

  3. Egyptian military rulers are fighting for their lives, they know that once they lose power, they and their families will be murdered, water boarded and raped. It happened to their neighbors in Libya and it will happen to them if they turn their uniforms over to the rioters.

  4. As long as the Egyptian people keep the killing to themselves, who cares. It doesn’t matter the type of rag or turban being worn. They are all a batch of wild eyed savages. It is a batch of crazy people fighting over their interpretation of who has the most awesome imaginary friend.
    This instability in the region is all part of a larger jewish plot to destabilize all surrounding countries. This allows the jews to operate with impunity while the surrounding arab countries are mired in revolution and turmoil. Jews love the divide and conquer technique. They sit back when their opposition rips itself apart. Mel Gibson was right. The jews are the cause of all wars.

  5. Is anyone surprised that things got worse?

  6. The great one in his wisdom divided his followers into two groups, one group wore military uniforms with tear gas canisters in their hands, and the other group wore towels on their heads with rocks in their hands. The merciful one had them switch clothes and roles every few decades.
