A crude picture that reflects the predominance of the executive power and disregard for legality and the law and the rights of the Egyptian human being.  Security forces arrested a number of human rights activists and politicians who were in Lazoghly Square for a march to denounce the murder the young Alexandrian Khalid Saeed who was the victim of a number of police detectives assault in Sidi Gaber police station and in front of pedestrians in the street after being arrested in an internet café and attacked till death with serious injuries revealed by some pictures circulated among activists across the websites. That enhanced a number human rights activists, politicians and Internet activists to call for a peaceful demonstration at five pm in front of the headquarters of the Ministry of the Interior in Lazoghly Square to condemn the incident, to claim operating the law and to bringing the defendants to a fair trial. That was faced in the beginning by the Ministry of Interior statement and reported by the government media and carried the threat and warning tone to confiscate the right of activists to demonstrate peacefully. And when the militants begun their assembly in time for the peaceful march, they were encountered by the security forces that beat a large number of them and arrested a number exceeding thirty persons people - according to the information received till writing this statement – and in violation of all laws and the principles of the Egyptian constitution and international charters and treaties of human rights, those arrested were treated in an inhuman way and were physically and morally assaulted and So till now, the security forces did not reveal their detention places which is an assault to all the freedoms and rights of these citizens and an excess that has to be confronted by the public prosecution and to take its procedures to find out the reasons for the arrest of demonstrators.
