These were girls who had camped out in tents with male protesters in Tahrir Square, and we found in the tents Molotov cocktails and (drugs).The general said the virginity checks were done so that the women wouldnt later claim they had been raped by Egyptian authorities.
We didnt want them to say we had sexually assaulted or raped them, so we wanted to prove that they werent virgins in the first place, the general said. None of them were (virgins).
