Police 'sex assault' turns up online

Human Rights Watch urged Egyptian authorities Saturday to prosecute a group of police officers whose alleged sexual assault of a Cairo minibus driver was recorded in a cellphone video and has cropped up on the Internet, reports IOL.

"In a statement, the United States-based human rights group said Imad al-Kabir was detained for 36 hours last January after intervening in a dispute between police and a cousin.

Whilst inside the Bulaq police station, it said, Kabir was bound by his arms and legs, "severely whipped", then "raped... with a stick while one (police officer) videotaped the episode with a mobile phone".
