According to the Guardian newspaper, human rights activists say Egyptian military has been involved in arrest and torture of hundreds and possibly thousands of protesters during the 17 days of revolution.

The army has been accused of using methods such as electric shocks in what has been described as an organized campaign of intimidation.

This is while, Mubarak and his prime minister, Ahmed Shafiq, have said there will be no security pursuit of pro-democracy activists.

The news comes at the time millions of protesters have come to the streets across Egypt on Thursday, although the army shoots live bullets at protesters.

The army is deployed to suppress the revolution as the nation prepares for another planned million-man march by the opposition on Friday.
