Over the past three Fridays, Egyptian police have arrested over 700 protesters and killed another 27, according to official figures. There was a time when these numbers would have led the news bulletins; now, they're buried in half-hearted weekend round-ups. The news, it seems, is as tired with the situation in Egypt as the people who've retreated from politics in the years since the 2011 revolution.........
........."Every Friday, no less than 500 to 600 get arrested," declared Interior Minister Mohamed Ibrahim in a press conference last week. "At the beginning, we used to wait for the demonstration to turn violent, but now we confront them once they congregate. When we confront them, there are some that run. But whoever we can grab, we detain."
