Court rules against virginity tests for military prisoners in Egypt

Tuesday, December 27, 2011 - 3:02pm

A court in Egypt has ruled against a controversial practice involving virginity tests in military prisons.

Hundreds of people cheered outside the courtroom after the ruling was announced. An Egyptian Civilian Court ordered the Army to end forced virginity tests on female detainees in military prisons.

The case was brought up by a woman who said the army forced her to take the test after she was arrested during a protest.

An Army official said the tests were given so that the military would not be accused later of raping the detainees.
