this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZE5xnijnx4&feature=youtu.be shows a demonstration of egypt workers against the military-regime. what they shout during the march can be seen in english subtitles. one slogan is: "tora prison is ruling egypt". any suggestions what that means ? (I firstly thought of the jewish thora, burt perhaps it is just the name of someone from the ruling military ?)
thx

mukhabarat is just the Arabic for 'secret police/services'.
