Torturing opposition to Morsi: An inside look at Muslim Brotherhood’s torture chambers

Not only do they pay thugs to beat protesters in Tahrir Square, but the also torture protesters who oppose Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood:

ARUTZ SHEVA – The Muslim Brotherhood has replaced Hosni Mubarak, but an inside look at Egypt’s torture chambers reveal that they remain the same despite the Obama administration’s attempt to make Egypt safe for democracy.

At least two things have not changed: Violence and protests.

The Egyptian Al-Masry Al-Youm newspaper, with the help of a Brotherhood-owned television station, was given a rare tour of the torture chambers by the Muslim Brotherhood, which does not allow anyone to access the compound without its own permission. The report was translated and published by the Al Monitor website.

During a three-hour visit, the newspaper’s reporter revealed, “Protesters suspected of working against the Muslim Brotherhood are tortured and beaten with the knowledge of the police before being handed over for formal detention at a site just outside the presidential palace in Heliopolis.”

Bearded Muslim Brotherhood police and security officials, some in civilian clothes and some in military uniforms, supervise 15 bearded men who carry out whippings and beatings of demonstrators arrested for opposing Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi.

After the violent suppression of protesters by Mubarak’s regime, Morsi was swept into power in a democratic voted heralded by President Barack Obama as a new age of democracy for the Middle East.

Inside the torture chambers, protesters or even one who is suspected of opposing the Muslim Brotherhood are punched, kicked and beaten with a stick over their entire body.

The torture was carried out before the eyes of the Egyptian newspaper’s reporter, and the Brotherhood allowed him to witness it so that he would report the beatings and instill fear into protesters.
