Journalist: Egypt Police Sexually Assaulted Me; Groped Every Part of My Body, Called Me a Whore

The Newser website reports today (November 24, 2011) that an Egyptian-American journalist says police in Cairo sexually assaulted her after arresting her during protests.

Mona Eltahawy's left arm and right hand were broken, and police "groped every part of my body and called me names, called me a whore," she said.

"Five or six surrounded me, groped and prodded my breasts, grabbed my genital area, and I lost count how many hands tried to get into my trousers," she added.

"Eventually, they apologized for the police behavior and sent me home in a taxi," she noted.
