Oh, Jesus – I can’t keep up with it today! I saw a brief tweet from Mona Eltahawy yesterday saying “arrested and beaten” – it wasn’t even clear if she was the one arrested and beaten. I replied and retweeted but then got distracted…But she was the one arrested and beaten all right: her arm and leg hand are broken. And she was sexually assaulted – “Besides beating me, the dogs of CSF subjected me to the worst sexual assault ever.” Fuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Mona Mona Mona. God you’re brave.
The Guardian has more:

There’s no excuse for such mistreatment.
So, is anyone having a look at the whole police thing yet, or what? Looking like an international problem.
Words fail me
