Video shows Egypt prisoner's h
CAIRO, Egypt — The footage is shocking: A man lies screaming on the floor of a police station as officers sodomize him with a wooden pole.
Compounding the shock, it turns out that it was the police who made the film, and that they then transmitted it to the cell phones of the victim's friends in order to humiliate him.
For Egypt, the ordeal of 21-year-old Emad el-Kabir has been something of a Rodney King moment — a sudden, stark glimpse of a reality which authorities routinely deny, but which human rights groups say is part of a pattern of police brutality.

Four officers may still face d
The threat of disciplinary action over the death of Jean Charles de Menezes still hangs over four senior police officers - including deputy assistant commissioner Cressida Dick, who ran the operation.
Nearly two and half years after the shooting in Stockwell, the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has still not decided whether to press for misconduct hearings against any of the four.
The IPCC has the power to direct that an officer should face a misconduct hearing.
Deputy assistant commissioner Dick is an officer of Acpo (Association of Chief Police Officers) rank. This means the body to hold any hearing would be the Metropolitan Police Authority(MPA).
For the others, it would be Scotland Yard. The three unnamed officers are two firearms advisers and a senior detective.
Sources at the IPCC suggest it is unlikely that any of the four will be disciplined.
The MPA has already made clear that it believes deputy assistant commissioner Dick's behaviour did not breach any part of the police code of conduct and that she should escape discipline.
Jurors, who heard her evidence at the Metropolitan Police's health and safety trial at the Old Bailey, added a rider to their verdict saying they attached "no personal culpability" to her over Mr de Menezes's death.
All of the officers involved in the disastrous operation on the morning of July 25 2005 were told by the Crown Prosecution Service last year that they would not face any criminal charges.
Several junior officers, including the two officers who sho t Mr de Menezes, have also been told they will not face any misconduct or disciplinary action.
Len Duvall, the chairman of the MPA, said: "No one individual is to blame for what occurred on 22 July 2005." The IPCC investigates complaints by the public into the actions of police officers.
