In a series of incidents police officers appear to have used bully tactics or even violence. As well as political opponents, civil society activists, journalists and ordinary citizens have reported abusive behaviour by the police.

President Abdel Fettah el-Sisi suggests that new legislation could make police officers more accountable. But is that all that is needed?

And how will this new momentum of protest play out in a very changed Egypt?
