   CAIRO (Reuters) - 12/27/11 -  An Egyptian court ordered on Tuesday that forced virginity tests be stopped on female detainees in military prisons. (My question is...what happens when they find a woman who isn't a virgin?)

     The case was filed by Samira Ibrahim, a woman who said the army forced her to undergo a virginity test in March after she was arrested during a protest in Cairo's Tahrir Square. (how degrading is this? Only in an Islamic country can you hear of something so repulsive and degrading as this. This should truly show how they care for their women...NOT!!)

Human rights organizations say that there have been many other such tests by the military.

"The court orders that the execution of the procedure of virginity tests on girls inside military prisons be stopped," said judge Aly Fekry, head of Cairo Administrative court. Hundreds of activists inside the courtroom cheered after the ruling was read out. (This article should be spread throughout the world.....)
