What happened to the 28 year old young Alexandrian cannot be comprehended by rhetoric. Khaled was brutalized by two informants in the streets of Alexandria at the sight of a surprised but silent crowd.
The information I’m going to mention is based on two sources. The article published by opposition leader Ayman Nour on his Facebook and a small news story that followed up in al-shorouk newspaper.
This is not a literal translation of both articles. Rather it is a practical aggregation of the information included.
Ayman Nour’s article
Khaled was in an internet cafe in the Cleopatra area of Alexandria. Two informants entered the cafe and demanded inspection of all present and did it in an indecent way. Khaled expressed his disagreement with the way the handle the inspection.
As Khaled expressed his refusal of the arbitrary action taken by the informant, informant Mahmoud al-Falah grabbed him from his clothers and slapped him. The other informant, Awad, joined his peer in slapping and bunching Khaled till Khaled fell on the ground while the crowds were surprised.
One of the informants then held Khaled’s head and started hitting him against a marble area in the cafe. Khaled passed out and blood poured out of his nose and face. As the people beg the informant to stop, another informant carried Khaled into a neighboring building entrance, and started kicking, bunching, and hitting Khaled against the metal gate of the building.
As Khaled was taking his last breath, the informants threw his body into the police car. They escaped away and came back after a little while. They threw Khaled’s body on the street.
Immediately afterwards, lots of police officers spread in the area. They were not looking for the killers but instead for any camera that videotaped the attack. The police in Sedi Gaber area also intimidated the eye witnesses. Some witnesses managed to offer their account. Khaled’s family filed a complaint to the prosecuter. Number is 1545 on June 7th 2010.
ِAccount of the case as published in al-shorouk newspaper:
Khaled was sitting inside an internet cafe when two informants came and asked everyone to show his national ID cards under emergency law.
When Khaled refused, the first perpetrator ( Mahmoud al-Falah ) tied his hands behind his back. When Khaled resisted, the informant started beating him violently and grabbed him to a neighboring building.
As they were beating him inside the building, Khaled started to bleed from his nose. Khaled passed out and the informants thought it is a trick from Khaled. So, they pulled his head and hit him against the metal gate to wake him up which resulted in breaking his skull after which he died.
Eyewitnesses say the beating continued for more than 20 minutes. Another eyewitness mentioned that Khaled was taken in the police car to the Sedi Gaber police station. He was brought back less than 15 minutes later and thrown in the street. An informant then called an ambulance to remove any liability. An eyewitness says that the attack directly resulted in the death which was due to brutal torturing of Khaled.
Khaled’s brother said: ” Once I knew of the police’s accusation towards my brother, I went to the US embassy as I’m a national of the US as well. The US passport may protect him instead of the Egyptian passport which humiliates its holders “
The public prosecutor ordered an autopsy.
Following are a disturbing images of Khaled after his death.

Egypt is the second largest recipient of US "aid" after Israel. We should be outraged that our money supports such brutality. American support for the sham democracy is one of the largest impediments to real democracy and human rights in Egypt.
You should be ashamed your money supports the brutality of the largest recipient of US "aid" as well.
"Support for harsh dictatorships proceeds unchanged. As President Obama set off to deliver his highly praised Cairo speech, he hastened to explain that he did not regard Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak as an authoritarian leader. "I tend not to use labels for folks," Obama said; when a political leader uses the word "folks," we should be prepared to shudder at what follows. Obama obliged, praising Egypt's brutal dictator as "a force for stability and good" in the Middle East. Just as in the past, support for democracy, and for human rights as well, keeps to the pattern that scholarship has repeatedly discovered, correlating closely with strategic and economic objectives.

FUCKING ANIMALS………….KILLING, A YOUNG INNOCENT MAN FOR NOTHING!!!!!!!!!! SHALL THEY PRAY TO ALLAH AND BE FORGIVEN????
EGYPT, ISLAM IT'S ALL A FUCKING JOKE!!!!!!!!!!
all is blessed, religion excuses all excesses, rape torture and slaughter of children is justified if God/Allah is on your side. Christian or Muslim it is all the same. Religion/belief in superstition is to blame. Secular countries have a higher standard of living, happier population, longer life expectancy, better health and less government corruption. signed, a former believer who saw the light/hypocrisy. Former US Army Officer.

7asbuna allah we ne3m al wakeel
God is never on your side when you murder his children, it doesn't matter what religion you are. All religions are realized to the detriment of everyone in the world! All of this aside, what gives any leader the right to have his countrymen beaten in such a way, especially when it was in payment for telling truths about corrupt security officials? Murderous scum and I hope they are caught and killed by private citizens. I mourn the death of Khaled; the images burned in my mind will never be forgotton!
I don't care where you live, what's your race or religion. There is evil people in this world, they really are more like animal's and should not be breathing the same air us good people breath. Justice , is just a word that is hardly ever acted upon. I pray there will be no mercy when evil people are caught for there hateful crimes..
Expect an ignorant fool in commenting on a moral crisis of humanity to undermine one's religion.
…and expect the same fool to believe that secularism is the way of life, invading and killing innocent people, torturing children with their oh so mighty bombs and weapons to 'liberate' a country to follow their ways.
Such is your 'freedom'…the world shall not ever forget the brutality and inhumane actions based on lies of your 'great' secularism way of life.
You shall taste your own doings in the very lowest pit of Hellfire, where God and His angels shall bear witness of the destructions you have created in this world. It is God's promise, and verily He's the best keeper of promises.
Laugh now, you shall tremble in fear on your deathbed.
To the same Anonymous David Ibrahim is referring to, the problem with you and your likes is that you are capable of morally separating yourself from the shames of your countries doings in Iraq, Afghanistan. Which ever pig farm you come from the likes of you stereotype the entire people of Islam when an event by a filthy minority such as yourself take their twisted ideals, and fake sense of power in to action. The policemen who did that belong to your category of ideals & beliefs. If they had the slightest knowledge/ belief in the ways of Islam, or this never would have happened. Since your knowledge, or lack of it only comes from TV, what could be expected from the likes of you

@Anon above me:

I am just another human who sorrows deep over how a human being treats another human.
