http://www.google.com/hos(...)f4c8e6ee60bc5e68.271quote:Clinton tours Cairo's Tahrir unabashed by criticism
By Lachlan Carmichael (AFP) 4 hours ago
CAIRO Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took what she called a "thrilling" tour of Cairo's Tahrir Square, centre of the protests that ousted Hosni Mubarak, on Wednesday, ignoring criticism of Washington's long support for his regime.
The most senior US official to visit Egypt since the veteran strongman's resignation last month, Clinton wandered round the huge central plaza accompanied by embassy officials, before heading into talks with the civilian and military leadership.
But her tour was overshadowed by a snub from one of the main youth groups that spearheaded the Tahrir demonstrations and by a deadly police raid on a protest camp in US Gulf ally Bahrain which killed three demonstrators and wounded dozens more.
"To see where this revolution happened and all that it has meant to the world is extraordinary for me," Clinton said as she toured the square protected by Egyptian and US security guards.
"It's just thrilling to see where this happened," she said.
Clinton was greeted by a dozen or so ordinary Egyptians in the square but others further away in the morning crowds were seen to frown as she passed. "Thank you for walking the streets of Tahrir," one man told her. Another held his young daughter aloft, prompting her as she said in English: "I love you." Clinton clasped her hand.
After her tour, the US chief diplomat held separate talks with civilian Prime Minister Essam Sharaf, in office less than a fortnight, and Field Marshal Mohammed Hussein Tantawi, head of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces which took power when Mubarak stepped down.
The council has vowed to pave the way for a swift return to civilian rule, and free and fair presidential and parliamentary elections.
As she posed for the cameras alongside the premier before their talks, Clinton again waxed lyrical about her tour of the square and promised Washington's full support. "It was very exciting and moving for me to go to Tahrir Square and to have some sense of what those amazing days must have been like here in Cairo," she said. "There is so much to be done and the US stands ready to help in everything possible to translate what happened in Tahrir Square into (a) new reality for Egypt."
But Washington's swift and apparently unapologetic switch from staunch Mubarak ally to supporter of the transition failed to convince the ringleaders of the Tahrir protests.
The Coalition of the Youth of the Revolution said it had snubbed an invitation to meet Clinton because of "the US administration's weak position at the start of the revolution due to its close relationship with the ousted president."
The group added that it had also been angered by "the help and support offered by the American administration to many of the oppressive and undemocratic regimes in the region," in a statement posted on its website on Monday. The United States bases its Fifth Fleet in Bahrain, where deadly violence raged on Wednesday as security forces assaulted a protest camp in the capital Manama's Pearl Square modelled on the Tahrir demonstrations after the authorities declared a state of emergency.
Nationwide protests calling for Mubarak to step down and demanding political and economic change erupted on January 25. The rallies, which saw bloody clashes between protesters and security forces, left at least 384 people dead and more than 6,000 injured before Mubarak resigned on February 11.
At a meeting at the US embassy, Clinton paid tribute to an Egyptian employee who was among those killed, saying his death was "not in vain." "People everywhere are going to point and say that was one of the most important historic turning points," she said. "No one is permitted to hijack this revolution, no one is permitted to turn the clock back."

Judicial sources said prosecutors decided to summon former minister of agriculture Youssef Wali, former minister of tourism Zoheir Garrana and businessman Hisham al-Hazeq, all of whom are charged with seizing state-owned land.

Released detainees recount military torture, thousands remain in custody
Civilians who were detained by the military last week gave testimonials on Wednesday recounting the torture that they endured and saying that thousands of innocent individuals remain in military custody.
Families of detainees, some of whom received military sentences while others remain in detention with no charges brought, tearfully pleaded for their release.
Rasha Azab, a journalist who was detained on 9 March, said during the press conference that the people remaining in military prisons went on a hunger strike on Wednesday in protest at the abuses they have been subjected to.
Human Rights lawyers condemned the prosecution of civilians in military courts and the military's torture practices and called for public pressure for the release of the detained.
The legal measures are not enough because military trials are illegal. We need the solidarity of the youth of the revolution against every butcher who dared to lay his hand on an Egyptian, says Gamal Eid, Head of The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information.
The army dispersed Tahrir Square protesters by force on 9 March. Demonstrators say they were then dragged into the Egyptian Museum where they endured six hours of torture and mistreatment.
At 10 pm, they were transported to the military prosecution, where they said they were filmed in front of a pre-arranged display of weapons to pin the charges on them.
The detainees were then put back in vehicles and taken to the main military prison in Hikestep, east of Cairo.
According to Ahmed Ragheb, head of the Hisham Mubarak law center, the 173 detainees were then questioned in groups of 30 in trials that he describes as lacking all the components of a fair trial.
Ali Sobhy, an actor who was among the detainees, said that they were questioned inside the prisons kitchen while cooks were working, and the judge kept asking them to keep it down. If I were writing a trial scene for a comedy movie I wouldnt be able to make it that laughable, he says.
After the questioning, some detainees were released; others received military sentences, while some remained in custody with no explanation.
Among those who received military sentences are artist Amr Eissa and computer engineer Mohamed Adel.
Released detainees testified that most of those who received military sentences and those who remain in military custody are not thugs but are honest law-abiding citizens.
Ragheb added that even thugs are entitled to a fair trial and says that all those who were sentenced in military courts should receive a retrial.
Dozens of newly released military detainees recounted what they endured during their short time in the custody of the military. They all testified to having been electrocuted, insulted, stripped and severely beaten.
Salwa Gouda, a veiled activist in her 20s, who was among those who were detained on Wednesday, 9 March, said that the girls were stripped and underwent a virginity test in a room inside the military prison, while the doors and windows were open and a camera was taping them.
Gouda said that the officers accused the girls of prostitution as they were detaining them from Tahrir Square and fears that the videos could be used to prove the charge.
Sobhy says that while he was detained in the museum, his long hair, which was later shaved off in the military prison, was tied to a horizontal pole. Officers then proceeded to kick him in the knee and the chin, causing him to fall and then be pulled back up by his hair.
According to the testimony of many detainees, the army also mocked the demonstrators as they lay on the floor of the Egyptian Museum, taunting them with the revolutionary slogan, Raise your head up high, youre Egyptian, before kicking them in the face.
Some of the people arrested were not protesters, but happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Hisham Abbas, a company owner, was passing by Tahrir Square at the time that the military attacked the protesters camped in the Square. He made the mistake of denouncing the violence that he saw being used against protesters.
I havent demonstrated since Mubaraks resignation because this was the ceiling of my demands, and I wasnt supportive of the strike, but people should not be beaten, Abbas said.
Egypts armed forces vehemently deny the torture charges.
Hamdy Badin, the military police chief, told Al-Masry Al-youm that his officers neither beat protesters on 9 March, nor did they abuse any citizen inside the Egyptian Museum.
The armed forces have repeatedly emphasized that they will not deploy force against the people, Badin said.
Ashraf Kamel Suleiman, a Coptic citizen, said that two of his brothers and three of his cousins were arrested in the metro on 9 March and that they each received sentences of five years.
A vegetable vendor from thr Nile Delta governorate of Beheira also testified that her son was arrested by an army officer while he was standing with her at a vegetable stall. The widowed mother of four said she kissed the officers shoes to let her son go, but he kicked her away.

Al-Zawahiris Brother Among Hundreds Released from Egyptian Prisons
Posted by Trevor Westra On March - 17 - 2011
The mass-exodus of hundreds of prisoners held on terrorism-related charges continued this week in Egypt.
Mohammad al-Zawahiri, the brother of al-Qaedas second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was released Thursday from Egyptian prison after more than ten years of incarceration. Extradited from the Yemen in 1999, he had been held on charges of conspiring against the government in relation to the assassination of former Egypts former President Anwar Sadat.
His release comes as the Interior Ministry continues to evacuate political detainees by direct order from the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces. Just days ago the cartaker-government released Tareq and Abbud al-Zomor, members of Egypts al-Jihad Islamic sect who were also held in relation to Sadats killing in 1981. They were let go as part of a 69-prisoner release being billed as a concession to rights activist. According to Interior Ministry statements, they, along with al-Zawahiri, will be subject to five years surveillance. Read more here.
In related news, a UN report Thursday indicates the astonishing release of 950 former militants from the Gamaa al-Islamiyya terrorist group. While the Egyptian Interior Ministry has refused official comment on their cases, Montasser al-Zayyat, head of the Lawyers Syndicate Liberties Committee representing the freed militants said they have been gradually released over the past 11 days.
