Ok I missed this but it is never too late , already the verdict has just been announced from one hour only 9 PM Cairo local time after a very long session in the court that started from 9 AM till 9 PM in another Police torture case
This time it is about the police officer and two detectives who were accused of beating a man till his death in Mansoura
Without introduction in the second session of the trial the surprise verdict came in the end unexpectedly in that session with 7 years in jail for the police officer in the case , the rest of the details I do not know it yet
This is an another shy victory , already this is the maximum punishment a police officer gets in similar case from 20 years , and if you remember infamous Islam Nabieh made a record from 4 weeks ago when he took 4 years in jail ,well not anymore this follow whom I do not know his name set the record
This is good but is killing a man or beating him till his death deserves only 7 years !! at least 10 years minimum as accident murder , still it is a huge progress , a great progress
true
ReplyDeletei have mixed feelings about this ?!?
I agree, it's NOWHERE NEAR enough for knowingly taking a mans life. These people need to be punished much more so as to serve as an example. But it shouldn't stop there either, the people in power must implement more training for the police officers.
ReplyDeleteBut still...the best way is to make a good example themselves, which is obviously not happening. Police brutality is the result of a long hierarchy of abusing power that goes right to the top.
Great post once again and I would love to hear what you have to say about THIS.
@aardvark, you must have mixed feelings , because in the need this is about a person's life , in respectable country the punishment can be doubled than the normal penalty because he is police officers and killed during the service
ReplyDelete@GWPCF, you put your hand on the source of the trouble ,the above level of the hierarchy ,they are the one who are permitting this to happen in the first place
thanks and your post also is great and opens many doors
i am interested in punishing the corrupt police, i much much more interested in investion in the system credibility & professionality than handling a mono case, i mean (Link) :( ?!?

@aardvark,you mean the whole police or the whole regime or the whole society ??
ReplyDeletethere is some where, some point we must start at, I prefer society but it will take generations, systemwise will be more feasible, but it will soon be corrupted by either the society or the regime
ReplyDeletei really don't know :(((
@aardvark, I think it goes first to the regime ,we would start with the society ,if the society welcomes this violence , but it does not in fact it hates and refuses , do not forget a kind of this public refusal is how people feel towards the police
