Bloody clashes in Sayyeda Zeinab
Published by Hossam el-Hamalawy March 22nd, 2007 in Egypt مصر, Human Rights حقوق إنسان, Mubarak مبــارك, Photos صورI still do not have full information, but it seems around 10:30am Central Security Forces have stormed the neighborhood of Qale’t el-Kabsh in Sayyeda Zeinab, and clashed with the citizens, reportedly using tear gas and rubber bullets.
There are unconfirmed reports that at least one citizen died. Seventeen citizens were injured, as well as three police officers, one corporal and seven soldiers.
The families had assembled the day before in front of the People’s Assembly, to protest their conditions and government negligence. Protestors tried to assault the Cairo governor when he showed up. More than 250 houses were burnt down two days ago, making at least 350 families homeless… no compensation or aid was given to the victims.
Yesterday, I was told by a journalist, Mubarak’s NDP youth set up an emergency relief tent when TV cameras were present, but then packed it all off, as soon as the cameras went away.
If there are any reporters, photographers, or bloggers nearby, please let us know what the hell is happening.
UPDATE: Photographer and friend Amr Abdallah took some photos of the clashes. Click on the pic below to go to his flickr account…
