Mob sex attacks at Egypt inauguration (Video)

Uniformed Egyptian police pull a woman in nothing but her underclothes from a frenzied mob.



“Get back boy! Get back!” the officers say as one lifts his pistol into the air.
Large patches of skin on the victim appear bloodied and raw as she struggles to walk toward a police van with hordes of men still fighting for a handful of her body.
Moments later, she falls to the ground, naked. Police carry her into the vehicle, seemingly incapable of thwarting the crowd.
In the background, revelers set off fireworks and wave flags to celebrate the inauguration of Egypt’s new president.
This is just one of at least five mob sexual assaults that took place in Cairo’s Tahrir Square on Sunday, according to the “I Saw Harassment” campaign, which documents sexual violence against women in Egypt. The attack is shown in a less than two-minute viral cell phone video that CNN cannot independently verify, but which activists say appears to match the details of an attack.
“It is shameful that the security leaders of the Ministry of Interior did not take into account any security measures or plans to prevent such incidents,” a statement from the “I Saw Harassment” campaign reads. “Junior officers and individuals were left alone to face sexual harassment groups without any tools or plans.”
Four of the five victims sexually assaulted in the square required medical attention, the “I Saw Harassment” campaign said.
The attacks against them were so ferocious that several officers deployed to rescue the women were themselves wounded by the crowd, according to a statement from the Interior Ministry on Monday.
Police arrested seven men Monday on charges of sexual harassment after two women filed police reports and identified their attackers, an Interior Ministry spokesman said.
Video of one of the assaults was posted on YouTube and the video is a part of the ongoing investigation, said another official from the Interior Ministry, who was not authorized to speak to the media.
The response by authorities did little to squelch anger on social media channels, where many criticized the authorities and criticized local media for a lack of professionalism.

Actress Angelina Jolie is most likely to play Cleopatra in a new adaptation of the Egyptian ruler’s life story and has hinted that it could be her last ever film role.
She is in line to take on the part of the iconic Egyptian queen in an Eric Roth-scripted movie.
“There have been lots of different ideas of directors and a lot of different discussions. The script has been written by Eric Roth, who is a dear friend and a brilliant writer,” she confessed during a BBC Radio 5 Live interview.
Jolie has big shoes to fill, since Cleopatra, who was the last active pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, was last played by the late Elizabeth Taylor in the classic 1963 film.
And the 38-year-old star has hinted the challenging role will be her very last before retiring from Hollywood in order to focus on her humanitarian work and direction.
“That’s where you finish, in a great way. You kind of go, ‘What could you do beyond that one?’ Put it all into that one,” she said
Meanwhile, Angelina is looking forward to celebrating her 39th birthday tomorrow (04.06.14) with her Brad and their six children, Maddox, 12, Pax, 10, Zahara, nine, Shiloh, seven, and five-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
