People walk on top of a barrier blocking a road near the Interior Ministry in Cairo, in this January 16, 2013 file photo. A protest over Egypt's ineffective and heavy-handed police force two years ago started the uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak and inspired revolts throughout the Arab world. But reformers say President Mohamed Mursi, and the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood movement that helped propel him to power in June, have not changed the way Egypt's security forces are governed and legislated. The police may even have got more aggressive, they say. Poor Egyptians, who suffer the brunt of police brutality, have begun to lose hope that the Interior Ministry, the institution in charge of the police, will be reformed. The Interior Ministry, however, says it has reformed and that it is being blamed for a crisis created by politicians.
