This article is concerned with the increasing prevalence of torture in Egypt. Torture is a widespread problem in Egypt, being practiced in the majority of police stations and state security places. It has become a routine practice and is seen daily on a systematic basis. The number of people who are subjected every month to torture is unimaginable. In addition, there are deaths that occur as a result of the torture. However, the Egyptian government does not give clear answers about the issue. Everyone could be exposed to torture, and for different, illogical reasons. The case of Bany Mazar is a horribly clarifying one. The unclear political situation and the absence of democracy play the main role in the highly increasing rate of torture in Egypt.
本文关注埃及酷刑日益普遍的现象。酷刑在埃及是一个普遍存在的问题，在大多数警察局和国家安全场所都有发生。它已成为一种常规做法，并且每天都在有系统地出现。每月遭受酷刑的人数多得难以想象。此外，还有因酷刑导致的死亡事件。然而，埃及政府并未就该问题给出明确答复。每个人都可能因不同的、不合逻辑的原因而遭受酷刑。巴尼·马扎尔的案例就是一个极具说服力的可怕例子。埃及不明朗的政治局势和民主的缺失在酷刑发生率急剧上升中起到了主要作用。
