Egyptian military prison

Yesterday, on Egyptian Mubarak TV, a protester was talking about his ordeal when he was kicked and arrested by Egyptian soldiers.  He said that he was taken to a "military prison."  He was interrupted and told that, no it was not a military prison.  He said: I read the name with my own eyes: it was "a military prison." The anchor person said: I am being told that it was not a military prison.  The guy then said the Egyptian equivalent of "whateverrr."
