Reporter goes inside Egypt's Mukhabarat torture regime

By Lauren Wolfe/CPJ Senior Editor


When Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty reporter Robert Tait was taken into custody by Egyptian authorities at a police checkpoint near central Cairo on February 4, he didn't know he'd become witness to torture. But, cuffed and blindfolded for 28 hours, Tait heard and saw beatings and electrocutions. "My experience, while highly personal, wasn't really about me or the foreign media," Tait writes in the U.K. Guardian. " It was about gaining an insight--if that is possible behind a blindfold--into the inner workings of the Mubarak regime." It is exactly that kind of insight that can be gained when reporters are allowed to do their jobs, and it is why CPJ exists--to fiercely defend the rights of journalists to do their work. Take a read of our recent Egypt coverage here to get a sense of the massive scale in which journalists have been attacked and detained, and see Tait's whole piece in the Guardian here.

45. I agree. Suleiman the torturer. Seems like there is a power grab

going on and several members of the regime are going to try to step into the vacuum left by Mubarak, hoping this will satisfy the people.

I doubt it. From what is on TV right now, it looks like the people in Tahrir Sq. have not yet heard the news.

Hi Catherina, thanks for the continuing threads. I have spent the past week in the hospital with a relative who was seriously ill so appreciate the updates when I get home.

Breaking News : A coup taking place currently in Cairo

I think you have heard about Army Statement no.1 from the army council meeting that did not including the commander in Chief aka President Mubarak

Statement no.1 : Army respects the people and will do its best to protect it .. etc.
More statements to come and people are going crazy from happiness , we are glued
Rumors circulating that Mubarak has left the country , places of destinations are Dubai and Jordan.There are rumors that Cairo international airport is being evacuated to let Mubarak leave now.Another rumor that that he is being detained at a military airport.
We misinterpreted the movement of the army in Cairo last night when huge forces moved to the Presidential palace in Orooba and the ETRU building , these were clear signs but we did not understand ,nobody understood this because of the neutral position of the army !!
We are being ruled now by that army council which is in permanent meeting status.
Al jazeera claims that the army intervened when Mubarak was going to transfer some of his powers to Soliman, in fact this was what Mubarak was going to announce allegedly tonight. Already now we are hearing that officers tried to killed Soliman in that assassination attempt.
Suzanne Mubarak is said to have left the country.
Hossam Badrawy of NDP is saying that the best choice for Mubarak is to step down and I expect his departure today
