Due to some time constraints I won’t be able to post a detailed report on today’s pro-resistance demo, that started at 6pm and ended roughly around 8pm. However, I uploaded some photos of the protest and assaults by police-deployed thugs<\/a> that I hope you’ll check on my flickr account<\/a>.
I’m totally disgusted by the chocking police presence<\/a>, and the increasing dependence of our security forces on plainclothes thugs<\/a> to “keep law and order” during demos.
At least one journalist and several demonstrators were also assaulted, but I don’t know their names. Those I could recognize included dpa journalist Jano Charbel, Ahmad Droubi<\/a>, who were hit in the face and the head by baton-wielding thugs, as well as Malek<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: <\/strong>I’ve just spoken with Aida Seif al-Dawla<\/a>, the chairman of the Egyptian Association Against Torture<\/a>. She said she was brutally assaulted by plainclothes thugs as the demo was coming to an end. She received several punches in the stomach, sides, and chest.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> Here are more protest pix from Mohamed el-Taher’s blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n
