Policeman acquitted of assaulting Feb 8 protester despite video evidence

Despite video footage showing then-Staff Sergeant Ali Ahmed kicking a protester while he was on the ground, the criminal court ruled that there was insufficient evidence to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The police crackdown on a protest march on February 8, 2012 had left at least 71 people hospitalised.
