On the first question, whether there have been changes in the way the police and the riot police operate, I think it's fair to say that there hasn't been genuine will, whether from the military council or certainly from the government, to drastically reform the tool of repression that Mubarak has been using against political opponents and against the people in general.
Torture continues in some police stations, but also there are some cases of death in custody in prisons. Protesters have been tortured and ill-treated in prisons by the military, by the police. To give you an anecdote, one of the protesters from the 6 April movement, one of the pro-democracy movements, was detained in February after protests in Cairo in February 2012. When he was transferred to the prison south of Cairo, he said he was told, “Welcome to Guantanamo”. That's just to tell you how the impunity and the immunity that the security sector is benefiting from so far, from the violations that continue to occur, is not going to push security agents or workers to respect human rights.
On your second question, about development in the region, I understand this as the mounting forces of political Islam, perhaps, and if this is affecting Copts or...?
