‘‘The policemen in Egypt have been the symbol of tyranny and injustice for the past 30 years. They were the main hand of brutality, injustice, oppression and indecent behaviour. They also made it impossible for us to honour them given their inhuman treatment during these hatred decades. Personally, I believe that all the current system is corrupted; there is no one whose hand is clean because by all means they are culprits. People must be convinced in themselves by the actions of the police, not their words, to be able to respect and trust them. ’’
