“Egyptians decry \u2018virginity tests\u2019 on detained protesters, urge military rulers to investigate<\/strong><\/a>”<\/p>\n

Associated Press, Published: May 30 <\/p>\n

CAIRO \u2014 Activists and bloggers are pressing Egypt\u2019s military rulers to investigate accusations of serious abuses against protesters, including claims that soldiers subjected female detainees to so-called \u201cvirginity tests.\u201d
\n***
\nBut one general used a news conference to make negative remarks about women who mingle with men during the sit-ins and suggested lewd acts were taking place in protest camps.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were girls with young men in one tent. Is this rational? There were drugs; pay attention!\u201d Gen. Ismail Etman, the council spokesman, said at the end of March.
\n,,,
\nOne of the women arrested, Salwa al-Husseini, gave a detailed account at a news conference in March of her treatment and said she was made to undergo a virginity test.<\/p>\n

She said she was slapped in the face and subjected to electric shocks in her legs before being taken to a military prison.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we went to the military prison, me and the girls, we were placed in a room with two doors and a window. The two doors were wide open,\u201d she said. \u201cThe girl takes off all her clothes to be searched while there were cameras outside filming to fabricate prostitution charges against us later on,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe girl who says she is single, she undergoes a test by someone; we don\u2019t know if he is a soldier or some kid on their behalf,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Amnesty said in its report that one of the women told her jailers she was a virgin but was beaten and given electric shocks when the test supposedly proved otherwise.<\/p>\n

\u201cForcing women to have \u2018virginity tests\u2019 is utterly unacceptable,\u201d the Amnesty report said. \u201cIts purpose is to degrade women because they are women.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
