Last week Friday, Egyptian Hamada Saber was beaten for protesting against President Mohamed Morsi’s administration. His public beating in the Suez Canal was televised, showing six policemen dragging a naked Saber over tarmac, allegedly by orders of Morsi’s office.
Liberal Egyptian politician, Amr Hamzawy said,
Stripping naked and dragging an Egyptian is a crime that shows the excessive violence of the security forces and the continuation of its repressive practices – a crime for which the president and his interior minister are responsible,
An investigation into the assault has been promised by the office of President Mohamed Morsi, while Morsi’s opponents point to the beating to illustrate the similarities between the Morsi administration and the regime of deposed president Hosni Mubarak.
On the same day, a protestor was shot dead on Friday and hundreds injured in widespread protests. The unrest followed dozens of protestors killed in Suez Canal city of Port Sald and Morsi, in a spate of violence spanning eight days.
