Video of men giving police condom balloons goes viral

A video showing a reporter and an actor handing Egyptian policemen condom balloons on the fifth anniversary of the 2011 uprising received more than 1 million views online but could land the min jail.

The video was filmed on Monday, national Police Day, and the anniversary of the uprising that toppled former president Hosni Mubarak. The revolt was largely inspired by anger at police brutality.

The video, which has been shared 15,000 times on Facebook, showed the two men in their early 20s laughing as they unwrap and inflate condoms. "From the youth of Egypt to the police," was written on the balloons.
