I looked over these harassment reports....wow.. Definitely a systemic cultural epidemic going on in Egypt with regard to female harassment. Very disturbing indeed. Thanks for sharing.

Once the word had spread and underground pictures/videos were passed around of the Lara Logan assault/rape, it really turn the Egyptian men on. This started up their new game called "Rape a woman in the square and get away with it" mobs attacking women is out of control there, it's their enjoyment.
Walid, an army defector from Hafiz al-Nizam (riot police), told Human Rights Watch that officers bragged about raping women during home raids in Daraa: [One officer] joked that during that house raid, When I fucked the woman, she made a lot of noise because I must have pleased her so much.
Another defector, Toufiq, who belonged to a security force mudahama (raid) unit told Human Rights Watch that a friend in his unit admitted to having participated in a gang rape of two women detained during a home raid in November 2011 in Homs. He saw video on his friends cellphone that confirmed the gang rape.
