Checking female Egyptian protesters for Virginity
After months of denials, a senior Egyptian General has admitted
that female protesters were subjected to virginity checks.
A report filed with Amnesty International a couple weeks after the March 9th protest alleges that the female protesters were strip-searched, given electric shocks, beaten, threatened with prostitution charges and made to submit to virginity checks. At the time this was denied by Major Amr Imam.
However, a General has now come forward and is confirming that the checks did happen and he is defending the practice. The general who did not want to be identified stated "The girls who were detained were not like your daughter or mine. These were girls who had camped out in tents with male protesters in Tahrir Square, and we found in the tents Molotov cocktails and (drugs)."
The checks were done as a precaution so the women could not later say they had been raped or tortured. According to the general none of the seventeen women were virgins.
A statement from the Egypt’s Supreme Counsil Of Armed Forces said “The accusations that we did virginity tests are not acceptable. We deny it then and we deny it now.”
