Human rights organizations are criticizing an Egyptian military court for acquitting an army doctor of forcing a virginity test on a pro-democracy protester. According to Amnesty International, Egyptian troops beat, shocked and strip-searched many women arrested during the protests in Tahrir Square last year and forced them to submit to virginity tests. Heba Morayef of Human Rights Watch criticized Sunday’s ruling, saying: “This is a reflection of the fact that the military justice system is not an independent justice system and that the military will protect its own.”
