Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi told the Interior Minister on Friday to crack down on police abuse and to submit proposals to Parliament to achieve this goal, the Presidency said, as anger mounts over alleged police brutality. Their meeting came a day after a police officer had shot dead a man in the street, angering hundreds of people who protested in front of the Cairo security directorate. The policeman had attacked a driver after an argument and was forced to flee a mob of local people who attempted to lynch him, said a statement from the directorate. The policeman was later arrested. Last week, thousands of doctors held a rare protest against police they say beat two doctors at a Cairo hospital for refusing to falsify medical records. Sisi told Interior Minister Magdi Abdel Ghaffar to tackle abuses and propose any necessary amendments to laws within 15 days, the Presidency said in a statement. (Reuters)
