 In an incident leading us to know the rate of deterioration and descent which Human Rights in Egypt reach through the action of policemen!! Association for Human Rights Legal Aid (AHRLA) received with extreme annoyance the sad news about barefaced violation and shameful for all claims of respect citizen rights and dignity in Egypt by the investigation officers in Shobra EL Khema (second) police station, because some of the investigation officers and the informers the police station trespass the citizen Mohammed Abdel Rahman Zien (75) years old and his family who consist of three sons "Gamal, Abdel Hamied, Abdel Rahman Mohammed Abdel Rahman" and four daughters "Nora, Hanaa, Do'aa, Thoma Mohammed Abdel Rahman" and the citizen Mohammed Saliem Gomaa the husband of the daughter Nora from their house which located in 7 Ali EL Kobiesy st. – Bahtiem – Shobra EL Khema – Qualubia.

During this fight, the policeman "Mohammed Abdel Shakour" from investigation team in Shobra EL Khema (second) police station came with martial attack and irresponsibly fired shots which caused fright and fear among the citizens, so the brothers saw that they have no choices but escaping afraid of their lives from the threat of this frivolous officer who was in following action fabricated many lawsuits against the brothers. After that, the officers of Shobra EL Khema (second) police station detained the sisters for four days inside the police station and during this period they came under trespassing with insult and assault by whip and hands that to force them to conduct where their escaped brothers hiding. And the complainants kept in the police station all this period long without legal authority, came under all kinds of abjectness and torture before they released by AHRLA lawyers.

 Early on last Sunday 24th September, the sisters directed toward their cafeteria place to open it but they surprised, that the officers "Mohammed Abdel Shakour", "Mohammed Fawzy" and "Mohammed Ashmawy" leads another martial attack from Shobra EL Khema (second) police station investigation affairs and with them number of soldiers and police informer, the policemen arrested the sisters without legal authority and detained them forcibly in Shobra EL Khema (second) police station, and with barefaced recklessness of law, the officer rushed into the cafeteria, damaged and broke its contents such as chairs, tables, drinks boxes, glass pots and other properties before they left their crime scene gaining disgrace and shame.

In Shobra EL Khema (second) police station, the officers and policemen alternated trespassing the sisters with insult which scratching shyness and assault on different parts in their bodies which caused break in the left arm of the complainant Do'aa Mohammed Abdel Rahman and she also attacked by abrasions, contusions and injuries in different parts in her body as well as other victims' injuries.
