Who is Ayman Sabry, the Egyptian man reportedly tortured to death by police?
ALBAWABA - Protests recently erupted in Egypt after the death of a young Egyptian man named Ayman Sabry, who was found dead inside the Belqas police station in the Dakahlia Governorate with reported torture marks on his body. According to local reports, Sabry was detained on July 21 over charges of drug trafficking and weapons possession. Egypt's Ministry of Interior released a statement stating that the young man died after he felt a sudden state of fatigue in his cell. Sabry was later transferred to a hospital but died there. The ministry added that Sabry was serving time with two other inmates who were also under investigation. However, neither of the inmates was suspected or accused of Sabry's death. شاب بكلية الهندسة.... تم تعذيبه بالكهرباء فى أماكن حساسة...وتوفى فجر اليوم على يد امين شرطه... — The Godfather (@lblrwy699913) July 27, 2025 Additionally, the ministry revealed that the Public Prosecution Office took over the investigation and has ordered the forensic medicine department to conduct a medical examination of the body before proper burial. In response to Ayman Sbary's death, protests erupted in Egypt's streets over the suspicion of police brutality and accusations of corruption. The protestors chanted, "The people want the downfall of the regime." The protests also erupted due to rumored reports claiming that Sabry was subjected to torture by the Egyptian police during his sentence, including methods like electrocution. However, the ministry didn't disclose details about the torture incident. A social media user wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter), "A young man at the Faculty of Engineering... was tortured with electricity in sensitive areas... and passed away at dawn today at the hands of a police officer..." According to several social media users, Sabry was a young man attending the Faculty of Engineering at a local Egyptian university.

At least 30 hurt after car hits crowd outside Los Angeles club
Ammon News - A car slammed into a crowd outside a Los Angeles nightclub early Saturday morning, injuring at least 30 people, before the driver was assaulted by onlookers and shot, the city's police and fire departments said. At least seven people were in critical condition and six others were seriously injured, the fire department said in an online statement. The incident, which took place outside a club, occurred just before 2 a.m. local time (0900 GMT), the fire and police departments said. Captain Adam VanGerpen, a fire department spokesperson, was quoted by ABC News as saying the car apparently first careened into a taco truck outside the club and then through a valet stand and into a large group of people. The Los Angeles Police Department said on X it was still investigating why the driver slammed into the crowd. Officers responding to a radio call of an assault with a deadly weapon found the driver had been shot while being assaulted by onlookers, the police said, adding that he was taken to a hospital and his condition was unknown. A man suspected of shooting the driver fled the scene on foot and possibly was armed with a silver revolver, the police said. Reuters
