Egypt dismantles state security torture


One of the neat new developments out of Egypt is the abolition of the old State Security Service, much like the KGB in the former Soviet Union. Involved in kidnapping and torture and the suppression of dissidents and opposition forces under Mubarak, the interim government has abolished it and the headquarters have been ransacked and the equipment of torture dismantled. Great news for human rights in Egypt!
