Abstract:
This article is concerned with the increasing prevalence of torture in Egypt. Torture is a widespread
problem in Egypt, being practiced in the majority of police stations and state security places. It has
become a routine practice and is seen daily on a systematic basis. The number of people who are
subjected every month to torture is unimaginable. In addition, there are deaths that occur as a result
of the torture. However, the Egyptian government does not give clear answers about the issue.
Everyone could be exposed to torture, and for different, illogic reasons. The case of Bany Mazar
is a horribly clarifying one. The unclear political situation and the absence of democracy play the
main role in the highly increasing rate of torture in Egypt.
