28 April 2012 Unknown, armed persons attack a sit-in in front of the Ministry of Defense
"Wanted for Justice: Karim Baskawit, for firing a shotgun"
2 May 2012 Five days after the beginning of attacks on the occupiers
At night they started by attacking from the bridge
They fired birdshot and threw rocks at us from above
Then they came down to Abbaseyya Square and we went after them
They were firing tear gas, using shotguns, live ammunition and automatic weapons
This lasted until dawn, at which point they stopped and disappeared
We went to where they had been
and found boxes of food marked from the Military Armor Division
After about two hours they returned with rocks and firing shotguns
but in the beginning they were using tear gas, shotguns and live ammunition
I recevied 11 fatal cases, five of them within only ten or thirty minutes
most of them from live ammunition to the head
Among these was one of our colleagues who went out and was shot in the head
He was a medical student at Ain Shams University
we're incredibly broken up by this
Most of the injuries have been to the head, face, and eyes
Even within the past hour one of our patients lost his eye
I have 15 cases where an eye has been lost,
and about 25 other eye injuries
There are injuries
Most of the serious ones have come from live ammunition
Large caliber rounds, from automatic weapons
Some of the bullet wounds have come from 9mm
Firearms and automatic weapons. Live rounds and shotgun cartridges producied in military factories. Who is arming the thugs?
"Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey Military rule ends today!"
"After they've sent their thugs at us"
"Down, Down with Military Rule!"
"Down with all the dogs of war!"
"Yes we're chanting against the Army!"
"Egypt is a country, not a barracks!"
Shotguns, live fire, they've used automatic weapons
We've found unspent rounds on the ground where they were attacking from
I mean I want to understand:
Who are these people affiliated with?
Food from the military Armor Division
Surely they must be from the Ministry of Interior or the Army
More than a dozen martyrs and tens of wounded in five days of fighting, and the Police and Army, "Protectors of the Nation," idly watched
