双语新闻：一名挨打的埃及男子承认遭到警察殴打 Egyptian Beating Victim Admits Police Assaulted Him

04 February, 2013

上星期在埃及反政府抗议活动遭到剥光衣服殴打的一名埃及男子已经承认，警察要对这次事件负责。当时的情形被拍下照片，激起全国民众的愤怒。

早些时候，现年48岁的萨布尔指责抗议者上星期五在总统府外面殴打他，当时抗议者聚集在那里，抗议穆尔西总统的由伊斯兰主义者领导的政府。

但萨布尔星期天接受埃及一家电视台采访时改变了说法，他承认殴打自己的是防暴警察。埃及电视台对这一事件做了实况报道，并清楚地展示了戴头盔的警察殴打这名男子，并把赤身裸体的他在地上拖着走。

穆尔西的办公室说，这段录像“令人震惊”，负责警方事务的埃及内政部则下令对这起事件进行罕见的调查。

An Egyptian man who was stripped naked and beaten at an anti-government protest in Cairo last week has acknowledged that police were responsible for the assault, which was caught on camera and triggered national outrage.

Forty-eight-year-old Hamada Saber earlier had accused fellow protesters of beating him last Friday outside the presidential palace, where they had gathered to denounce the Islamist-led government of President Mohamed Morsi.

But, in an interview with an Egyptian television network on Sunday, Saber changed his story, admitting that riot police were to blame. The incident was broadcast live on Egyptian television and clearly showed helmeted police beating the man and dragging him naked across the ground.

Mr. Morsi's office called the video "shocking," and the Egyptian interior ministry, which oversees the police, ordered a rare investigation.
