Egypt marks Intl. Day in Support of Victims of Torture

The International Day of Torture (June 26th) coincides with the trial of the former Interior Minister Habib el-Adly, where massive numbers of protesters and human rights activists gathered outside the court chanting anti-police slogans and demanding death penalty for the once widely feared interior minister.

Activists say International Day of Torture is an occasion for the world to speak up against the unspeakable. It is also a day dedicated to remembering and supporting the many victims of torture in Egypt and around the world.

I speak out about the pure evil of all torture! And for justice to those who authorize and perform it, no matter where they live or what their excuse may be!
