All of us are Mina Daniel

Translation: "We are All Mina Daniel"

The street artist is writing "martyr" under the portrait of Mina Daniel. This street artist didn't paint the portrait of Mina Daniel, but he is one of the many anonymous street artists to continue to spread the message.

This stencil appeared during the 28 October demonstration.

Mina Daniel was an activist killed in the 9 October "Bloody Sunday" Maspero clashes.(http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/64/23860/Egypt/Politics-/Activists-mourn-death-of-Maspero-martyr-Mina-Danie.aspx)

Christians marched from Shubra to Maspero, the state-run television building in downtown, to protest against the failure of the government to investigate attacks on churches in Upper Egypt. The military attacked the peaceful protesters, killing 27. During the violence, there were many rumors that state-run TV was calling on Muslims to protect the military who were being attacked by Christian protesters. The state-run TV did report that "The injured in the Maspero confirm the possesion of Coptic protesters of live ammunition." In reality, while the state-run media blamed the violence on religious tensions between Muslims and Christians, eye-witness accounts prove that it was in fact the military who were attacking Egyptians.

A curfew [2am-7am] was issued the night of 9 October, the first such curfew since I have arrived in Egypt.

While Mina Daniel was an activist, he was not widely known before his death. The martyrdom of individuals is not unique to Mina.

The death of Khalid Said was a major rallying-point during the Revolution. Khalid Said died as a result of police torture in June 2010 in Alexandria.

Khalid Said's death represented the brutality of the police, just as Mina Daniel's death represents the brutality of 9 October.

The "We are All Khalid Said" Facebook page was instrumental in organizing and mobilizing individuals in the revolution-- and is still active to this day. The Facebook page's anonymous-turned public administrator is Wael Ghonim, the Google-executive who has since because an international ambassador for the Egyptian revolution. "We are All X [name of martyr]" is now a popular slogan in Egypt.
