Egypt acquits 'virginity test' military doctor "No one stained my honour," Ibrahim wrote on her Twitter account after the verdict. The one that had her honour stained is Egypt. I will carry on until I restore Egypt's rights. Egypt's official news agency said that Adel was acquitted because the testimonies of the witnesses for the plaintiff conflicted. But the court's insistence that no tests were ever conducted at all has raised doubts about the verdict. "The court's denial of the tests being conducted went against written testimonies of several public figures who discussed the issue with several of the ruling generals," rights lawyer Adel Ramadan said. Amnesty International said in June that Egypt's generals acknowledged carrying the tests on female protesters. It said Maj. Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, a member of the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, justified the tests as a way to protect the army from rape allegations. The rights group said al-Sisi vowed the military would not conduct such tests again. The virginity test allegations first surfaced after a March 9 rally in Cairo's downtown Tahrir Square, epicentre of last year's uprising, that turned violent when men in plain clothes attacked protesters, and the army intervened to clear the square by force. The military has been in power since Mubarak stepped down last year in the face of a popular uprising. The Mubarak-era generals who succeeded their former patron face accusations by rights activists of killing protesters, torturing detainees and trying at least 10,000 civilians in military tribunals. They are also accused of bungling the transition and seeking to preserve their decades-old immunity from civilian oversight.
