Killed in Action




An activist was killed early this morning on Qasr Al-Aini Street, near the Maglis Al Sha'ab- he was run over by a police van & died of internal injuries. Activists began an open ended sit-in in front of the Maglis Al Sha'ab (located close to Midan Tahrir) the night before in order to prevent the newly appointed Prime Minister Kamel Ganzouri from entering office.
When I arrived at the scene at approximately 3pm, the area where the activist was killed was cornered off and other activists were explaining what happened to those cars which slowed down to look.

Can something be art if it's real?


Translation: "Blood of the martyr of military rule"
These words-- written in chalk-- were next to the scene.
