Police Beat Beggar

Here's a report from Kuwait that describes a police interrogation technique which would surely be considered unacceptable if used by the U.S. military.

Police have arrested an Egyptian man for begging for alms in front of an unidentified mosque, reports Al-Anba daily. The 43-year-old beggar pretended to be dumb to gain the sympathy of people, however when police beat him up, he 'retained' his voice and begged police not to beat him.

The beggar was also found to be an illegal alien with forged identification.
