Virginity tests forced on female protesters

CAIRO: Egyptian activists have promised ongoing online protests to press the
military leadership to investigate soldiers who abused pro-democracy
demonstrators, including women who were detained and forced to take
''virginity tests''.
The interim authority, formed after Hosni Mubarak was ousted in February,
has come in for increasing criticism from the youth movement for the slow
pace of its reforms and intolerance of dissent.
The abuse of the women, which was confirmed by a senior army official this
week, has caused particular anger and prompted a storm of protest on the
internet.

Youth activists held an online protest yesterday and said more protests were
necessary because Egypt's mainstream media trod too softly around the
military.
The new rulers have shown themselves to be thin-skinned, with a military
prosecutor summoning a blogger and a TV journalist after they criticised the
army on a talk show. Three other journalists were also called in for
questioning on Tuesday. All were released without charge.
The growing dissatisfaction with the interim government is increasingly
clear. While the military council has pledged to organise elections this
year and hand over to a civilian government, tens of thousands of people
appeared in Tahrir Square last week to demand faster reforms.
The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces had previously denied claims by
Amnesty International that 18 women detained in March were subjected to
virginity checks and threatened with prostitution charges.
But an Egyptian general told a US TV network this week that tests were
conducted. ''The girls who were detained were not like your daughter or
mine,'' the general, who requested anonymity, told CNN. ''These were girls
who had camped out in tents with male protesters in Tahrir Square, and we
found . molotov cocktails and [drugs].'' He said the tests were conducted so
that the women would not be able to claim that they had been sexually abused
while in custody.
Amnesty condemned the general's comments and called for an investigation:
''This general's implication that only virgins can be victims of rape is a
long-discredited sexist attitude and legal absurdity.''
One of the victims, Salwa Hosseini, 20, told Amnesty she and the other women
were forced to remove their clothes before being strip-searched by a female
guard. Male soldiers looked into the room and took pictures.
The women were also beaten and given electric shocks.
Meanwhile, Mr Mubarak and his sons, Alaa and Gamal, will face trial on
August 3 on charges of ordering the killing of protesters and fraud. A
judicial source said the Mubaraks had been referred to the North Cairo court
to face Judge Ahmed Rifat.
