Egyptian army denies 'virginity tests'

[hatzel]

Hundreds of Egyptians have held a demonstration in central Cairo against the army's treatment of female protesters.

According to Amnesty International at least 17 women arrested in Tahrir Square were forced to have "virginity tests". A military official has denied the allegations.

Al Jazeera spoke to one of those girls who have accused the army. This is her story.The story (in video form) is right here (http://english.aljazeera.net/video/middleeast/2011/06/20116255012877754.html).

Now, I know that people aren't supposed to just post up a little link or something with no comment, but I really don't feel that a comment is needed in this case...

Didn't the army admit themselves that they did this?

Not according to the title of this thread, but the title of this thread could perhaps be based on false information :)

I mean, I thought the initial reports about the virginity tests came from people in the military actually saying "Just so you know, guys, we're doing virginity tests so no one can claimed they were sexually assaulted"
