Egypt's embattled Muslim Brotherhood regime is paying gangs of thugs to rape women and beat up men who gather in Cairo's Tahrir Square to protest the despotic power grab of President Mohamed Morsi, the Fox News website reports today (December 5, 2012).
In a bitter replay of the Arab Spring protests -- which overthrew President Hosni Mubarak nearly two years ago -- protesters have flooded the Cairo square to denounce Morsi, who has stripped the judiciary of power and is rushing through an Islamist constitution.
Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians have gathered in the square to protest the new constitution and to call for Morsi's ouster. Morsi fled the presidential palace in Cairo yesterday, after the complex was surrounded by tens of thousands of protesters chanting slogans reminiscent of those used during the revolution that ousted Mubarak.
The new constitution faces a December 15 referendum, but opponents and the nation's judges have signaled they won't take part in what they consider a sham process.
