Egyptian women protesters forced to take 'virginity tests' (middle east, soldiers, revolution)

[nightflight]

After army officers violently cleared the square of protesters on 9 March, at least 18 women were held in military detention. Amnesty International has been told by women protesters that they were beaten, given electric shocks, subjected to strip searches while being photographed by male soldiers, then forced to submit to 'virginity checks' and threatened with prostitution charges.

Naw, a revolutionary Muslim government wouldn't do a thing like that would they? At least those women didn't have to worry about that with the terrible dictator, Mubarak, in control. Maybe the reason he had to go was really that he wasn't Sharia enough in his governing.
