An Egyptian court has acquitted an army doctor accused of forcibly administering virginity tests on female detainees, state-run Nile TV said Sunday.
The court acquitted the doctor because of contradictory testimony from witnesses, the government-run website EgyNews reported.
The issue came to light last year
after several women alleged they were subjected to such examinations
following a March 2011 protest in Cairo's Tahrir Square.
