PM - Egyptian secret police files revealed 07/03/2011: "Over the past two days activists in Egypt have stormed several offices in Alexandria and Cairo belonging to the former regime's secret police.
Thousands of Egyptian activists took control of the state security headquarters in Nasr City on Saturday night, reading and collecting classified material and gathering the shredded remains of documents for possible reconstruction.
Sara, an Egyptian blogger and activist, was inside the state security building. I asked her to describe what she saw.
SARA: We went through corridors full of offices. Each office had loads of shelves filled with files. There was one room that had TVs and video tapes and audio tapes as well.
It was just a building full of paper. There were trails of shredded paper on the floor. And in two of the rooms there were two huge garbage bags filled with shredded paper.
MARK COLVIN: What about the paper that wasn't shredded? Were you able to read anything of interest?
SARA: Oh yes. I went into an archive, archiving parents' councils meetings all over Egypt.
MARK COLVIN: Parent councillors - what do you mean? Just school parent councillors?
SARA: Yes! Yes, it's like an elected parents' boards that would you know just do adjustments to the building or maybe activities for the children. All these meetings were documented."
