(ANSAmed) — Amnesty International has asked the Egyptian authorities to investigate reports of torture, including the obligation to perform a “virginity test”, inflicted by soldiers on women who took part in a protest in Tahrir Square on March 9.

Eighteen women were arrested by soldiers, according to a statement by the international organisation, and claim that they were “beaten, subjected to electric shocks, forced to undress while soldiers took photographs of them and forced to take a “virginity test”, amid threats of being charged with prostitution”.

“Forcing women to take a “virginity test” is completely unacceptable,” Amnesty says, highlighting the case of Rasha Azeb, a journalist arrested in Tahrir Square.
