Egypt court sets trial date for police torture case
Two policemen accused in the death of an Egyptian activist will go on trial for torture on July 27, in a case that has drawn the attention of governments and rights groups abroad and led to protests at home.
Khaled Said, 28, died on June 6 in the port city of Alexandria. Witnesses and rights groups say two policemen dragged him out of an internet cafe and beat him to death, while Egyptian authorities say he died choking on drugs. (Reuters)
