More nasty activities from The Usual Suspects.
Quote:The number of sex attacks and rapes against female protesters in Egypt's Tahrir Square has hit 91 in just four days.
Vicious mobs attacked the women as millions of protesters took to the streets to demand President Mohammed Morsi step down.
Women were beaten with metal chains, sticks, and chairs, and attacked with knives - some of the attacks lasted for 45 minutes before they were able to escape.
Lord almighty! I thought it was only 19.

Group Says Honduran Cops on Rape Spree Since Coup
TEGUCIGALPA – The group Feministas de Honduras en Resistencia said Thursday that is has documented 19 instances of rape by police officers since the June 28 coup that ousted President Mel Zelaya.
There have been many other cases of rape, but the women have not reported them out of fear of reprisals, Gilda Rivera, the executive coordinator of the Honduran Center for Women’s Rights and head of Feministas, told Efe.
The activists say that women taking part in the resistance to the coup are being targeted.
“We’ve obtained testimonials from women who’ve been sexually abused, beaten with cudgels on different parts of their bodies, especially the breasts and buttocks,” adds the report presented Thursday at a press conference in Tegucigalpa.
Others have been verbally attacked in a systematic way with phrases like “Whores, go home,” Rivera added.
She also said that some of the women who have had their rights violated “have had to hide and live apart from their children and families to protect their children and avoid raids at their homes.”
The charges from the Feministas coalition come as a delegation from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights is visiting Honduras to appraise the state of human rights since the army ousted Zelaya and erstwhile Congress speaker Roberto Micheletti was installed as “interim” president.
At least a half-dozen Zelaya partisans have been killed in the wake of the putsch.
Zelaya’s supporters repeated Thursday at a peaceful march in the capital that the return of the deposed leader will occur soon.
“We’re going through the prelude to the arrival of President Zelaya,” which “we believe mustn’t be delayed past this coming week,” peasant leader Rafael Alegria, one of the coordinators of the resistance front, told reporters.
He said that officials at the U.S. Embassy on Wednesday told the leaders of the resistance movement that negotiations are taking place in Washington which “are preparing the agreement for the return of President Zelaya.”
