Amnesty: Video Shows Torture of Slain Egyptian Prisoners 
---------------------------------------------------------



Amnesty International has released video it says provides evidence of
the torture of scores of prisoners killed during the uprising against
U.S.-backed President Hosni Mubarak. According to Amnesty, the video was
taken inside a morgue a month ago. The victims had all been jailed at
one of Egypt's largest prisons. Corpses had wounds to the head, mouth,
and eyes, as well as bullet wounds, burn marks, and missing fingers.
