| Late general El Batran |
General El Batran was killed at El-Kat prison on January 29th and according to eye witnesses the general was killed by the order of El Adly for opposing his decision to open jails and set the prisoners free to terrorize the citizens. We have got the testimonies of the prisoners whom up till this moment have not been summoned to testify at the public prosecution office. The public prosecution office did send experts to see the crime scene at the prison !! Officially these prisoners were transferred to other jails and El Kat prison was undergoing some restoration works before it was stopped by the orders of the minister after the interview of Dr.Manal on Tahrir TV!!
Nevertheless Dr. Manal still got witnesses including police officers but she is fears on their safety just like we all do
The official story adopted by the ministry of interior states that General El Batran was kidnapped by the prisoners who were trying to escape and was used as a human shelter against the fire shots of the other police officers. In other words he was killed by mistake in a friendly cross fire !!
Of course the case of General El Batran can be used to restore the trust between the police force and the public but the ministry is not yet cleaned to think in this way.
If it were not for the efforts of Dr. Manal El Batran, I believe this case would have been forgotten. Dr. Manal is another true example of persistent and strong an Egyptian lady can be despite her sadness.
