Really Bad Cop - Police brutally beat activist to death




Egypt Wednesday summoned ambassadors of the European Union countries to protest against a recent statement, which expressed concern about the death of a young Egyptian whose family say was beaten to death by police.

"Regardless of the content of the statement, this move constitutes a glaring violation of the diplomatic norms and an unacceptable interference in Egypt's internal affairs," said the spokesman for the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, according to the official Middle East News Agency.

Quote from the article:
A report on a second autopsy, ordered by Egypt's Chief Prosecutor last week, said that Khaled Saeed had died of asphyxia after choking on a bag of drugs when approached by police in the coastal city of Alexandria.

Meanwhile, his family and local eyewitnesses insist he had been beaten to death by two detectives on June 6.

"There is an investigation into the incident being conducted by the Egyptian judiciary, whose measures and rulings should be respected by everyone," added the spokesman.
