Leaked videos of Egyptian police brutality have been circulating the web recently. Seems the Malaysians are ahead of us...

Hi Hossam,

I wrote a story on this in September at Global Voices, which you might like to take a look at:

And thanks for the pointer to the Egyptian video, which I will take a look at

Cheers,
